@lxo that makes sense. In that case I hope you will get opportunities to travel to Ukraine and/or meet with Ukrainians. Maybe somebody from Ukraine could reply too. Of course if there turns out to be evidence showing unfairness of Ukrainian elections that would be good to share.
I hope you find time to read the book. It is written by a Russian writer who moved to Ukraine. The essence is that Ukrainians simply want the freedom to be themselves in between Russia and Poland.
