Western Media Get Ukraine Elections Wrong. There's Big Trouble Ahead

Western media says they are legitimizing, stabilizing, and a vote for a turn towards the EU. This is simply not the case.

  • The country is still badly split, East vs. West
  • Turnout was low, especially in the critical East
  • The East is dis-enfranchised
  • Neo-Nazi street violence still a real political factor
  • Popular support for Poroshenko is low
  • Support for the war is low
  • The government, and popular opinion, are deeply fractured
  • Poroshenko failed to consolidate himself as the country's leader
