Ah, Ukraine. Yet another one of those Damned If You Do, Damned If You Don't situations from a Western perspective, isn't it? The fact that Turchynov has just sacked the Odessa regional governor and appointed yet another well-known oligarch who shares his ultra-nationalist views, isn't helping much either, is it. Quite a nice freedom-fighting gang they've been forming up there in Kiev: Tymoshenko the Gas Queen, a bunch of violent neo-fascist right-wingers, plus a good amount of oligarchs who'd rather have you disappear in mysterious circumstances than tell you how they earned their first million.

There is no winnable scenario for either side. And since neither side seems willing to make concessions and seek compromise, the prospects are grim for Ukraine.
