EuroMaidan Revolution
Greg Satell: Should the West be meddling in Ukraine?
A couple look at Independence Square, dubbed Euromaidan, in Kiev on February 8, 2014. Ukraine's embattled President Viktor Yanukovych returned to protest-hit Kiev on Saturday after holding talks with his Russian counterpart and ally Vladimir Putin about a suspended Moscow bailout loan. The chat late Friday on the sidelines of the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games in Russia's Black Sea resort of Sochi came amid intensifying pressure from the opposition on Yanukovych to cede some of his broad powers and appoint a new pro-Western government.

Ukraine is a place I used to call home. I spent nearly a decade of my life there and still have many friends and family in Kiev. When I served as CO-CEO of KP Media, the parent company of the Kyiv Post and Korrespondent, I worked closely with many of the country’s top journalists and we still keep in close contact.
