Blue &Yellow: Politics and Economics in Ukraine

The poor performance of the economy continues, with it comes protests. As noted in an earlier post, these would get bigger as the problem got worse.  The Regions-led protests show how public sentiment as changed since the crisis began last Fall. One very interesting piece of news came from the president who is no longer against an early presidential election. However, the prime minister does not support early elections. BBC Ukraine reports that Yanukovich is calling for large scale protests for 14 of April. It also noted that a portion of the protesters were made up of individuals from the eastern oblasts, naturally since these were Regions organized protests.
