Can Ukraine avoid partition?
Daniel Hannon at the Telegraph says no, it can't.
What's worth looking at are two maps in the article: a map of the 2010 vote for President of Ukraine and a second map of ethnicity/linguistics. The overlap is, of course, virtually total, as Burg readers know (but go look at the maps, halfway down the article).
Mr. Hannon makes a good point: if partition is coming let's work to make it like the breakup of Czechoslovakia and not Yugoslavia. Sadly, I think it's going to be the latter. |
