That was the failure of the Yanukovich government, followed by the disbanding of the Berkut, the disarray of the military and police, and two months later here we are and we don't even know the extent to which the "provisional" government in Kiev has any actual control of the country. They have failed to follow through on their "ultimatum" to the rebels in the East.

A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman
