What do you mean by “failing to install a pro-Russian administration in Kiev”? The Maidan revolution (some call it coup) forced out the elected president which was perhaps pro-Russia but mostly just corrupt, as were most Ukrainian politicians. He at least had the right idea of having Ukraine act as a neutral country between two power blocs.
As for minority rights, Ukraine doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to restore them, as repeatedly criticized by Hungary and Romania. Ukraine is becoming a very nationalist, illiberal state, the odds of it joining the EU are slim to none.

- blub 4y agoYour link doesn’t reference any poisonings and the event you’re referring to is old history at this point, I’m not sure why you’re bringing it up. I thought you were talking about Yanukovich in your original comment, since you kept mentioning 2014 and now you’ve jumped back to 2004.
