for ukraine is more of a parliamentary republic right now so the president has much less power than unocal beach. so in fact it's more important to how the parliamentary elections that they are also well organized. then things will advance and i would also like to return on this point of civilization i think the other reason why putin is promoting it is because the apple to create some instability in the country because we know that case all belgium where they have some problems because of the those different parts of belgium how the different likes and who are acting independently because if ukraine now holds good position actions in the parliament elections novel was attracted to me maybe not direct the preaching but did see some other soft lights countries where the also how dictatorships in the end. for example the garage is watching the events in ukraine where he closely because their results to the attention he ain't going there is a dictator and there are lots of people for not liking don't agree with you don't want to have him speak it's also a question about minorities and that th
