Audio: Ukraine Elections Discussion

This is the audio for evnet "Ukraine Elections Discussion" on January 21, 2010.

Some Western and Ukrainian analysts argue that there is little difference between the foreign and domestic policies of Yulia Tymoshenko and Viktor Yanukovych, opponents in the second round to succeed Viktor Yushchenko as Ukraine’s fourth president. Dr. Taras Kuzio analyzes the core differences in the opponents’ policies, arguing that these remain fundamentally profound. While Yanukovych is even more pro-Russian than Leonid Kuchma, the president of Ukraine between 1994-2004, Tymoshenko continues to portray herself as a supporter of the values of the Orange Revolution that have since become missed opportunities during the Yushchenko presidency.
