A small example, there is a bridge halfway down the country that spans the Dnieper river a huge river that runs from Russia and spills into The Black Sea. This bridge has been closed for 1 year! Almost certainly this bridge was erected during the FSU, but now it has fallen into disrepair. This is a very important bridge, running through the centre of this country and the detour is 100,s of kilometres. It is difficult to understand the priority of the leadership that something so fundamental does not seem to be of great importance. What is high on the list of any military stategy in crippling and overcoming the economy and communication of a country? What will they first attack and seek to destroy? These guys do it to themselves?

Frustratingly through the eyes of an outsider it is difficult to see why things are so bad? Two language country? No problem. Part of the population for Russia and part for Europe, or the West? Why should this be such a huge problem? Is not democracy a freedom of choice? A respect of differences?

To the president of this country Victor Yushchenko and the current Prime Minister Julia Tymoshenko, I say look at your country, look at your people, they are suffering and why? You have so much potential, you can and should be an important country, of huge intellectual, cultural and artistic influence. Why is this country in such a dismal situation?
