U.S. GOVERNMENT STATEMENT ON INVESTIGATION OF UKRAINIAN OPPOSITION POLITICIANS

Although as a rule the U.S. Government does not comment on the specifics of individual cases, we have raised with the Ukrainian government our concern that while corruption should be pursued, prosecution should not be selective or politically motivated.

In that context, we also raised our concern that when, with few exceptions, the only senior officials being targeted are connected with the previous government, it gives the appearance of selective prosecution of political opponents.

ЗАЯВА УРЯДУ США ПРО РОЗСЛІДУВАННЯ ЩОДО УКРАЇНСЬКИХ ОПОЗИЦІЙНИХ ПОЛІТИКІВ
Незважаючи на те, що уряд США, як правило, не коментує конкретики окремих справ, ми висловили українському уряду наше занепокоєння: з корупцію потрібно боротися, але переслідування правоохоронними органами не має бути вибірковим або політично вмотивованим.

У цьому контексті ми також висловили свою стурбованість тим, що коли переслідують , за маленькими винятками, лише тих високопосадовців, які пов’язані з попереднім урядом, це виглядає як вибіркове переслідування політичних опонентів.

США дали отмашку мочить рэгов. При чем дружба Пини с семьей босса посла роли не сыграла.

Latest from WikiLeaks: The Yanukovych-Santa Claus Correspondence
Source: World Affairs Journal

Dorogoi Santa,

Before I tell you what I want for Christmas, permit me to tell you what I don’t want. Number one: I am sick and tired of being laughed at. Sure, I stole a few horses when I was young; and da, I could lose a little weight and learn how to spel. But enough is enough! Am I the leader or not? Who else wears ostrich-leather shoes? Who else stops traffic when he goes downtown? Who else has billboards all over Kyiv? Number two: I do not want to be photographed next to that little Medvedev. Number three: I do not want Putin to say, “Yo, Yanuk!” That is undignified. “Yo, Proffessor” would be more like it.

Now, here’s what I do want. I’ve been a good malchik. I always smile. I don’t drink Georgian wine. I love Christmas trees. So I think I have a right to ask you for:

· Two helicopters: one to take me to work, one to take me home.

· A rakish mustache, for when I hang out with Sarkozy and Berliozconi.

· Smaller feet, for when I dance the rumba with Angelina Merkel.

You probably thought I’d ask for a successful presidency, right? Wrong! I used to think this job would be tough, but it’s not. I say jump, and they jump. I say make Ukraine rich, and they jump. I say make Ukraine powerful, and they jump. This ruling thing is, as we say in Donetsk, a lump of coal.

Your faithful servant, Viktor Yanukovych

.........................................................................................................................
Dear Viktor,

I admire your self-confidence, but wonder whether it wouldn’t be wise to ask for something more practical. Remember, leaders also need to be loved. Are you?

Yours, Santa
