It will host the final of this summer's Euro 2012 football championship. But it is not clear how many European leaders will be there to toast the Ukrainian president, Viktor Yanukovych, and whether the tournament will be a symbol of Ukraine's proximity to Europe or its isolation. Photographs of Yulia Tymoshenko, a jailed former Ukrainian prime minister (and, during the 2004 Orange revolution, one of Mr Yanukovych's two bitter rivals) show her with bruises that she claims were inflicted by prison guards. She has now gone on hunger strike. The European Commission president, Jose Manuel Barroso, has said he will not travel to Ukraine for Euro 2012. Other leaders, reportedly including Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, are reluctant. Ukraine's political culture, and its press, remain vibrant and unpredictable. The next big test will come in October, when Ukraine is due to hold parliamentary elections. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
