EuroMaidan Press: Spare a bit of reform shaming for Ukraine’s parliament, will you?
Members of the Ukrainian parliament applaud after voting in favour of the creation of a new National Guard force, during a session, in Kyiv, on March 13, 2014.
Ukraine, it seems, just can't do anything to please its ostensible Western well-wishers, no matter how much I or other people try. If it’s not a ‘neo-Nazi coup’, it’s ‘failed state’; if it’s not ‘controversial decommunization’, it’s ‘deep East-West divide’. Trying to stem this particular tide is like trying to stop a tsunami by throwing handfuls of sand at it, and it just doesn’t stop.
