說了那麼多,是否「西烏」一定獨立無望?不是的。是否應爭取獨立,是「西烏」人自己才能決定的問題,但真的決定爭取,在目前國際格局,只會有上述後果。符合國際遊戲規則的獨立方式,應是先掩飾自己的獨立訴求,找一個面目模糊的中性候選人參選總統,贏了大選,然後以中央身份推動聯邦制,讓「東烏」、「西烏」分別享有克里米亞那樣的自治共和國地位,鞏固了邊界,確立了政治、經濟模式,再不斷修憲,最終和平分手。過程當然依然困難,但起碼是王道。 8 m; |. h1 M: e( T9 t6 ~, Y ! _" k0 l: _1 \" W0 ~TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。作者: felicity2010 時間: 2014-2-23 10:28 AM

STOCKHOLM – How Ukraine’s profound crisis will end is impossible to predict. We in the European Union and the United States are doing what we can to secure a peaceful transition to a more stable democracy, and the implementation, at long last, of urgently needed reforms. And the agreement now concluded between President Viktor Yanukovich and the opposition should create a new possibility for this.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。6 y) W# C" p: I6 ]1 }4 S

If the agreement is not honored, Ukraine could well continue its descent into chaos and conflict, which would be in no one’s interest. That is why Ukraine’s crisis is a European crisis. And, though we cannot know how the crisis will end, we should be very clear about how it started. 1 q0 J( ~5 Y' i. X) o! @9 Vtvb now,tvbnow,bttvb公仔箱論壇$ _& }3 n& s# P# r8 u7 J

For years, Ukraine sought a closer relationship with the EU. Its leaders warmly endorsed the promise of enhanced ties under the EU’s Eastern Partnership, and pushed for an EU Association Agreement, together with a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area. When those talks,which began under the previous Ukrainian government, were concluded, the agreement was endorsed by all four presidents and all 14 prime ministers to hold office since Ukraine achieved independence in 1991.$ A% u* l# k) X$ q

But, as the EU and Ukraine were addressing remaining issues ahead of the November 2013 Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius, where Ukraine was to sign its Association Agreement, something suddenly changed. From August onward, Russian policymakers embraced the openly declared aim of knocking Ukraine off the course that it had chosen. A political campaign against the agreement was launched, and the Kremlin mixed targeted sanctions with threats of harsher measures against the already-weak Ukrainian economy.5.39.217.76 d!

This set in motion the chain of events that has now resulted in carnage and death in the streets of Kyiv. For many Ukrainians,Europe was the symbol of hope of a better life; suddenly, they felt betrayed by a political elite that they had long perceived as being incorrigibly corrupt.So, to be clear, it was the Kremlin’s pressure, and the Yanukovich administration’s vacillation, that produced the current crisis. # T; U% q# W* m& E3 {. s公仔箱論壇 , X. e P' N3 h.

Had Yanukovich decided to stand up to Russian pressure,there is no doubt that Ukraine would have faced difficulties.

Of course, the reforms asked of Ukraine would have been difficult, but no more difficult than what had been asked of other ex-communist countries that saw their future in and with Europe.

Free trade with both Russia and the EU would obviously havebeen good for Ukraine’s economy, thus providing a boost to the Russian economy as well, notwithstanding the oft-used but fundamentally bogus argument that EU goods would flow into Russia via Ukraine.

Russia is intent on building a new strategic bastion in the form of its proposed Eurasia Union, and it seems determined to force Ukraine to join. While publicly grumbling about supposed EU pressure on Ukraine, the reality is that Russia brutally extorted the country into abandoning its EU course. That is the source of this crisis; the facts speak for themselves.5.39.217.764 j U3 g1 g; x, u

KYIV – Acrid black smoke hangs in the air and stings the eye in much of central Kyiv, where state repression is dampening hope of resolving Ukraine’s political crisis. With a truce between the government and the opposition shattered only hours after it came into effect, and with dozens of people reported killed in recent days, any hope for an end to the country’s deepening civil disorder appears to be fading fast. 5 F# m" O# r: K1 `) s公仔箱論壇 1 f2 q9 ?)

Yes, a tentative settlement has been reached, following mediation by European Union foreign ministers, with a promise of early elections.

The activist Yuri Verbitsky, a mathematical physicist, was abducted by five men in late January from a Kyiv hospital, where he had gone to seek treatment after being injured by a stun grenade at a demonstration.

The EU and the United States have introduced diplomatic sanctions since the latest round of murderous violence began. This should include a travel ban not only on all officials who ordered, oversaw, or implemented the crackdown, but also on Yanukovich’s political enablers: the oligarchs who are now sitting on the sidelines while spiriting large sums of money out of the country. 2 U5 B1 @3 h, J; r$ Ttvb now,tvbnow,bttvb公仔箱論壇8 N5 T t: m3 n' }- O3 T0 v% W" K4 s, ~

There is a perception in the West that all of Ukraine’s political forces are weak, divided, and corrupt. And there are growing concerns,often fueled by sensationalist media coverage, that far-right forces are gaining the upper hand within the opposition camp. But, though such forces do exist, the vast majority of demonstrators on the Maidans across the country are ordinary people angry about abuse of power, state violence, official impunity,and corruption. 7 _+ {, Z* S* h" X9 X; x" b% Qtvb now,tvbnow,bttvb 4 g7 M) {7 }* \6 {' \6 oTVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。- P5 T+ A6 e2 n& w# R J# c: \
