An Open Letter to Democarcy Now!
The following letter was sent to Democracy Now! during the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution.
Dear Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez:
The current social unrest in the
Ukraine is disadvantageous to both the Europeans and the Russians.
Even though Yanukovych won in 2010 on a pro-Russian ticket, since
2011 he had been making clear and orderly steps to implement the
Ukraine-European Union Association Agreement. Considering that
Germany gets most of its oil and natural gas from Russia through
Ukraine and Putin has had little fear in the past of stopping the
flow when Ukraine has become openly hostile to Russia, both Germany
and Russia had a vested interest in maintaining the former status
quo. If Germany faces an energy crisis, its economy will go into
recession and bring the EU down with it.
