My wife grew up in Turkmenistan, went to college in Moscow and finished mech. engr..years ago. WE have no family anywhere. My wife lived in Kiev about 5-7 yrs before we got together. She hates that woman that sits for the U.S. in the United Nations I think her name is Newman,(F*** the E.U.). I think some smart interviewee said on t.v., my wife remembers,"We should sign Lavrov to a contract!" Lavrov IS a smart guy, (no pulling the b.s. past him!). My wife feels Ukraine will be the same as you have posted re: Russian speaking people, and "no one" wants a broken Ukraine in the E.U., they have enough with Greece, Spain, Romania, etc. CAN you ask your wife "WHAT do people do to EARN A LIVING!" I can't get answers online . THANKS
