History clearly states that Ukrainians never had THEIR own king, and they never will.
Indeed, Ukrainians never had their own kings. They had foreign kings – Russian, Polish, Soviet, and even Turkish ones were also present.
And as long as the game of "legitimate and transparent change of power" continues, there will be a struggle among foreign kings for the opportunity to control the political steering wheel of Ukraine. We are currently observing the acute phase of this process.
This game can end in two ways – either one of the foreign kings will defeat the others, or a king of their own will appear, who will drive out the agents of influence of the foreign kings.
But it is better to tell fairy tales about democracy to children at night; they might believe them.
