Some one posted about Russia stepping on Ukraine so long, but my wife is from Kiev and wa a businesswoman. People got along before the U.S. sponsored the Bandera. It may come out the CIA directed a fighter jet to shoot down that plane to start trouble. The CIA has a long history of start juntas over the world. Sorry I got off of the subject. How are things for the average person; the gas prices will double as they have to pay E.U. prices, and gov. jobs will be cut very much. The E.U. has the only money and they E.U. is almost broke, and O'Bama gave Ukraine pennies. So"are wages current or 2 months behind?" Are the masses selling candy on the corners or beer @ the metro? thanks, Mchael near Chicago

Hey Michael its pretty normal here. Not much affected and I havent heard others complain of the wages now as they did back in the revolution.. Problem is this govt is as corrupt as the last one. US gave them $20 million for body armor for the military and it went "missing". The official in charge of world bank funds got a few million deposited in his account overnight and resigned. They appointed a new person now that world bank does not want to deal with Im told. The volunteer battalions have the FSB raiding their homes randomly and throwing some in jail if they suspect anything wrong. People who helped in elections did so for that and now they are over are taking things back from the people that were being used. Same old ukraine just different people.

Thanks kievexpat1, The western media does NOT show things that are against the U.S. much per CNN & FOX. Canadain meat producers are screaming to ship to Russia, as are the Polish, and Merkel is on the way out as Germany is in the dumps financially. The latest is the U.S. is trying to start trouble with China via Hong Kong protesters as the Chinese are big friends with Russia now.
