Ukraine: Yanukovych for PM (1) · Global Voices
Veronica Khokhlova

Petro of Petro's Jotter describes how the shocking news of Victor Yanukovych's nomination as prime minister was met in Ukraine's capital: “Arriving at Maydan I see no one. Not a single activist. All tents quiet at 8am. Bankova: nothing. Cab Min: nothing. A few black Mercedes with VR plates escorted by cars with flashing blue sirens pass me on the streets but no activists. At the VR: nothing. No one out. Nothing on 5TV but a recurring story about some Japanese Xylophone musician.”
