However to change the suject just a bit you are all missing a point.

There is no language divide in Ukraine with half the country speaking Russian and half Ukraine. It is a myth, it is not true.

I live and work and Kiev, our legal agreements, business contracts and so on are written in Russian. The language my colleagues speak at work is Russian. Sure they understand Ukrainian too but it is a bit like Wales, lots of people people in Wales speak Welsh to their grandmothers but they do their business in English, or like Gaelic in Scotland or Ireland.

This country got got on together just fine for more than 20 years speaking Russian and Ukrainian. The only thing that has changed this perception abroad is Russian propaganda.

I understand that my my wife and I and our 3 year old daughter are now considered neo-nazis by some of you because we live in Ukraine and do not support Russia aggression towards our country, those of you in that camp may want to consider the following points:

Where is Yanukovych? -In Russia.
Where the former Minister of Internal Affairs? -In Russia.
Where the former head of the SECURITY SERVICE of UKRAINE? -In Russia.
Where former Defense Minister? -In Russia.
Where the former Justice Minister Lucash? -In Russia.
Who instructed them? -Russia.
Who occupied the Crimea? -Russia.
Who held a fraudulent "referendum"? -Russia.
Who holds the 40-thousand forces on our borders? -Russia.
Who interfere in our internal affairs, indicating which governance we must have, what the Constitution, language, etc. should be? -Russia.

And whose fault is it? ............ Europe & America!

This photo is the medal that is being handed out to Russian soldiers who were involved in the Crimean take-over. Notice the dates on it, on 20th February Yanukovich was still in power and more than 100 people were shot dead by snipers in central Kiev.

Russia claimed there were no Russian soldiers in Crimea during this timeframe, yet is now giving them military medals comemorating a campaign that ran from 20th Februaary to 18th March.

I was pleased to see the leaders of Ukraine's Jewish community from all districts come out in support of our new government and against Russia. Does that make them Jewish Neo Nazis?

Or is the Nazi claim just so ridiculous it should be ignored.

Happy Easter.
