#1 I had forgotten about Yushchenko, he's probably still pissed about his face.

#2 I've always wondered if it wouldn't be better to create a Nato-like organization comprised of ex-Warsaw nations. This would mean the Germans (whom the Ruskies have issues with) so hopefully the Russians would feel less threatened.

Then if the group purchased a lot of Russian equipment (tanks, APCs, not planes) they would be seen as somewhat of a customer for the Russians which might increase their pull and limit Russian fears and troublemaking.
