It should be apparent now that the charade in Ukraine is just a shuffling of the oligarchs, all of whom intend to make oodles of money, as always, by doing shady business with Russia on the backs of Ukrainians (what the Maidan populist anger was supposed to be against), and we've reached the point where they have decided to eliminate the unreliable middleman of government, politicians and bureaucrats, and run things themselves:
- "Blond Muslim billionaire takes control in eastern Ukraine"
- "Ukraine crisis: Country's richest man steps into the breach to help calm Donbas region"
- "Akhmetov and other oligarchs seek role as Ukraine’s policemen"
