Crisis in Leadership
As the global financial crisis closes in on Ukraine, the nation’s political leaders scramble for a multibillion-dollar loan package from the International Monetary Fund. Add abortion tourism to Ukraine’s list of unconventional offerings, which include political and sex tourism. Ukraine’s friends tell the nation to forget about NATO membership.
