Another side of the political battle in the Ukraine
Apparently Mr Yushchenko is Eastern Orthodox and from the northeastern Ukraine (which is Russian), not the Ukrainian Catholic southwest (old Polish Galicia and Ruthenia, both formerly Austrian) where most of his support is, and his supporters appear to be fervent Catholics based on this report. I’ve no idea of what if any faith Mr Yanukovych is. Still, Galicia can’t tell the rest of the country what to do and the US has no business meddling over there.
