Ukraine: “Long Life to the Government”

Categories: Eastern & Central Europe, Ukraine, Elections, Governance, Politics

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 [1], Tymoshenko is the premier [2] (again), and she's already making statements [3] about the gas situation. Matt Jay of Publius Pundit is also commenting [4] on the coalition's prospects. And Wu Wei meets with Ukrtransnafta representatives and has a brief discussion of the new government [5]: “We wished them ‘long life to the government’ and everybody laughed, so there are no illusions.”
