This article from the NY Times is one of the most interesting and insightful that I’ve read regarding the current political situation in Ukraine, as it explains some ideas on why their situation is so unique. I strongly encourage you to read it. You have to sign up (for free) with the NY Times in order to read the full article (though you can read page 1 without that), but I encourage you to read the whole thing.
Ukraine is really a special place!!
