УPreviously, a customer had separate purchase and supply agreements, i.e. in fact he bought gas at UkraineТs border and concluded a separate agreement for its transportation" /more... Opinion by Mykola Tomenko, for UP, 24.01.2007 11:47 Ukraine Will Gain Success Only as a Country of Politically and Economically Independent People Viktor YushchenkoТs team, focusing its attention on such problematic issues as Holodomor or the recognition of the OUN-UPA soldiers, does not make aware that despite their profound importance for the recovery of historical memory and reviving the feeling of national dignity, these issues cannot be a nationwide consolidating idea for Ukrainian citizens today. It might be apparent that one cannot unite the country by means of active promoting the entry into NATO. /more... Opinion by Yuriy Korohodskyi, for UP, 19.01.2007 12:35 The Anti-Crisis Reform The fight of certain individuals is a technology. LetТs think why in this case it turned into a Сwe-tried-our-best-you know-the-restТ thing?Weakness of the Political Reform lies in the fact that it was initiated by purely opportunistic conditions during a civil conflict. That is the reason it was discredited in course of time. Is it a reform as a means for achieving personal goals for politicians or is it a reform as a means of overcoming crisis and achieving a more effective share of authority? /more... Opinion by Taras Pastushenko, for UP, 18.01.2007 11:59 There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch Someone might think that Yushchenko is the winner who got the chance to do nothing, and assuming no responsibility whatsoever, tell the people how he would change the situation if he had the authority. But the thing is that YushchenkoТs voodoo has not effect at all now. He will never get back peopleТs faith and trust. That will never happen. The only thing he had is peopleТs respect and fear for his title Ц the President of Ukraine. He has lost even this respect. /more... Analysis by Vasyl Lemak, for UP, 16.01.2007 17:35 Imperative Mandate Estranges Ukraine From Democracy If in December 2004 part of the parliament consented to such amendments for the sake of overcoming the ongoing political crisis, now the coalition alongside with part of the opposition has purposely introduced an imperative mandate for local MPs, being aware the civilized world does not accept it. Local MPs may hope for the provision of the Constitution. /more... President vs. Parliament by Tetyana Nikolayenko, UP, 12.01.2007 19:18 The Story of How Tymoshenko Destroyed Yushchenko or Till Death Do Us Part In fact, on January 12 Yanukovych snatched up a Сhuge chunk of powerТ, Tymoshenko prejudiced her reputation while Viktor Yushchenko got left. According to the new Law on the Cabinet of Ministers Ukraine has turned into a parliamentary republic, where the presidentТs office has turned into formality. /more... Photo-report by Ukrayinska Pravda, 10.01.2007 20:24 Yushchenko Intends to Sign Another СUniversalТ on St. ValentineТs Day There was no tea and cookies on the menu. The agenda included a statutory wording of the Bill on the Cabinet of Ministers which must comply with the provisions of the National Unity Pact. Other issues included appointment of the Deputy Interior Ministers and completion of UkraineТs entry in the WTO. /more... Opinion by Pavel Bulhak, for UP, 10.01.2007 14:40 Opposition for the Sake of Authority Now the Verkhovna Rada has registered Draft Bill on the Opposition submitted by lawmakers from Party of Regions, Our Ukraine and BYuT. This bill is a lot better and progressive than the previous ones. At least this bill will not make the opposition the second executive branch of power, as Yulia Tymoshenko wished it. The opposition is given leadership in 12 parliamentary committees. /more... Analysis by Viktor Ukolov, 08.01.2007 21:33 A Bad Year The President of Ukraine should be satisfied with the 2006. The voters who supported Yanukovich have finally got what they wanted and now they realize that Party of the Regions have failed to fulfill its electoral promises after being admitted to the power. Now Our Ukraine has got new arguments to use against its political opponents in the next Parliamentary elections. However, is not the price which the country has to pay for such СargumentsТ too high? /more... mass media by Serhiy Hrabovskyi, 08.01.2007 14:04 Advanced Journalism or the Rush for Standards? The attempt to copy western politics in Ukraine results in waste of air time for a dozen of liars. Exceptions of successful live broadcasts with people who really adopt decisions are very seldom. In addition, when editors follow the principle of a СUkrainian balanceТ, they should not pick up competent experts themselves, but invite those proposed by the party front office. /more... Profile by Mykhaylo Dubynyanskyi, 07.01.2007 11:50 An Apologia for Mr Yanukovych As the subject of mass culture Viktor Yanukovych deserves appraisal. The people of Ukraine can be proud of him. YanukovychТs bright and versatile personality enables him to compete with Batman and Godzilla, Mr Bean and Harry Potter, Fantomas and Santa Clause. Yanukovych is brilliant in the roles of a mean СproFFesorТ who is trying to destroy young Ukrainian democracy. /more... History by Yuriy Glukhov, for UP, 06.01.2007 09:26 10 Unforgettable Years From the Modern History of Ukraine 2006 Ц the year of betrayals, revenge of kuchmism, worsening of living standards. Just after the Orange split in 2005 Ukrainian government signed a shady gas agreement on January 4, 2006. The price of gas, supplied to Ukraine by the agency firm RosUkrEnergo, almost doubled. Parliamentary elections could have resulted in formation of a democratic coalition. /more... Geopolitics by Semen Uralov, for UP, 05.01.2007 12:31 The Death of EuroAtlantis The term Euroatlantic integration has lost any sense. Joining the EU and joining NATO are two different things now. It looks like Ukrainians will have to study these two processes separately, having forgotten about any mythical ideas of the universal Euroatlantic course. So, joining EU and NATO is not related in its forms, contents and duration. Finland and Turkey are the vivid examples. /more... Investigation by Serhiy Leshchenko, Mustafa Nayem, 03.01.2007 12:06 Is Charter Airplane for YanukovychТs Son a Typical American Hospitality? Charter aviation is a service for millionaires but certainly not for MPs or heads of a state company Ukrainian Railways, which is, according to Yanukovych, was on the verge of bankruptcy. But a charter flight is a top notch! Indeed, why torture yourself in the same cabin with other passengers and eat the same standard dinners? /more... main themes The Makeup of the current Verkhovna Rada How to participate in translating Ukrayinska Pravda?
