YAROSLAW Tymchyshyn says that the situation in the Ukraine is similar to the situation in Gaza.
What utter rubbish. The Ukraine is not under constant bombardment from anyone, nor are its citizens being driven from their homes.
Civilians and troops are being killed, but by whom — the army or the so-called rebels?
He is, however, correct about interference in the Ukrainian internal affairs, but it should be remembered that the overthrow of the democratic government was not organised by Russia but by bribes from the EU and the US. Now I wonder what they have to gain?
The MH17 downing was a terrible thing and my heart goes out to the family and friends of the deceased, but it should be remembered that the Ukraine shot down a civilian airliner with the loss of all aboard.
The call for measures against Russia will only make things much worse as tit for tat measures will be made. Of course, once again, the US will be the beneficiaries. The EU and the UK will be the losers.
