Ukraine: “Long Life to the Government” · Global Voices
Veronica Khokhlova

Scott W. Clark and LEvko of Foreign Notes comment on the creation of the Orange Coalition in Ukraine – at last, three months after the election: the government is (almost) there,  Tymoshenko is the premier (again), and she's already making statements about the gas situation. Matt Jay of Publius Pundit is also commenting on the coalition's prospects. And Wu Wei meets with Ukrtransnafta representatives and has a brief discussion of the new government: “We wished them ‘long life to the government’ and everybody laughed, so there are no illusions.”
