[breaking news, Saturday afternoon, February 22, 2014]I hope my blog title is not naively over-optimistic...
A few weeks ago, I was enchanted by this photo of the 31-year-old Ukrainian pro-European deputy
Lesya Orobets wearing a bullet-proof vest during a parliamentary session.
The latest news, this morning, was that the pro-Russian president
Viktor Yanukovych had fled to his home territory in the east, while his opponents gathered at the
Maidan Nezalezhnosti (
Independence Square) in Kiev. A French weekly, this morning, spoke of a "revolutionary wind" that is blowing across this land.
The parliament has apparently voted already for the liberation of the ex-PM
Yulia Tymoshenko, but she has not yet appeared on the scene in person.
It’s amazing to realize that, for the last few months, Europe has had a bloody uprising on its doorstep, involving a would-be future member of the EU. I hope this great nation soon succeeds in joining Europe.
BREAKING NEWS: The great lady has finally appeared, in a wheelchair.
And she declared immediately that Ukraine must become a member of the European Union.
