		<description><![CDATA[Last month I posted that Ukrainians who want independent and fair TV news coverage only had Channel 5 (Kanal 5) and TVi left. Channel 5 played a crucial role during the Orange revolution and TVi was set up by a Russian media tycoon who was the first victim of Vladimir Putin’s squeeze on media in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Window On Eurasia: Aleksandr Bortnikov, the head of Russia’s FSB, and Valery Khoroshkovsky, head of Ukraine’s SBU, have signed a five-year agreement that will allow Moscow again to put intelligence agents in Crimea, from which 19 such Russian officers were expelled at the end of last year for attempting to recruit Ukrainians as spies.

From the New York Times: Ukrainian Parliament on Tuesday narrowly approved an agreement to allow  Russia to extend a lease on a naval base on Ukrainian territory.

Mr. Yanukovych&#8217;s first mistake was to violate the constitution [...]]]></description>

Many are worried because of Tabachnyk&#8217;s xenophobic Russocentric comments he&#8217;s made in the past: The appointment of Dmytro Tabachnyk as education and science minister of Ukraine became a downright shock – he is a politician who doubts [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday, Yanukovych promptly dismissed his predecessor&#8217;s appointed head of the SBU security service Vasyl Hrytsak. Surprisingly he was conspicuously replaced not by another qualified individual but rather media magnate &#38; television network owner Valery Khoroshkovsky. It seems to have worked well for Italy!

Some of them were nominal decrees to establish Ukraine as a neighbour (ie. not European or within the EU) and validating the recent questionable elections, but clause #20 took aim at former [...]]]></description>
