Ukraine isn't under oppression from Yanukovitch and Russia. Current president of Ukraine won last elections being in opposition, after revolution of 2004 showed that nothing changed. But as last government could do any good, current is also considered bad (by people). The core problem is Ukraine consists of two parts - East and West. Both parts are about the same size and population. West part gravitates to west and east part gravitates to Russia. That's understandable, east part has many ties with Russia, because it's almost the same people (same history till 1350-1400 CE) with hundreds years living near. There's families divided by border, they often go to visit each other, there's economical ties etc. Of course Russia wants to see Ukraine as a friend. Imagine Canada would decide to go into union with China and shut down it's border for USA. That's kinda similar.
Anyway, Ukraine stays being two-headed and I don't know how all that will end, but I hope they will find good solution.

No big group of people want to kill their neighbours just beause they are in uniforms, neither want to die fighting them. Whatever place and culture they have.
