It is very fascinating... we were in Kiev and stayed at Maidan Square shortly before the unrest began. Coming from Russia, it was easy to see that the Ukrainians were trying hard to be European. They were much more colorful, cheerful, and had services more closely resembling Europe than Russia. We really enjoyed the city. Lots of new money there. Russia controls their gas supply and turned it completely off a few years ago. I can totally understand why the Ukrainians are tired of Russia's games and power plays. The money these days is in the hands of the younger Ukrainians, so I'm confident that they'll trend towards the EU.
