That's what happens when you turn into a puppet state of the USA. Who else would you expect a man that has tanked the Ukrainian economy, begged the IMF for funds, blocked Russian Gas to Europe, giving weapons practically for free to his bed partner Sashkashvili, and silencing of opposition? He embodiment of the UPA. And this President has one of the lowest approval ratings in the world. Those that follow him don't like Ukraine, but Poland and US support. Ukraine is two countries politically. And his side is the least stable.
