Completely absurd. All my extended family in Ukraine (plus all my former friends, classmates, and teachers) support the protests. Some were involved in parties such as Klitschko's Udar and Tymoshenko's Batkivshchyna. Please keep listening to Radio Moscow.
The protests are not about prosperity or even about joining the EU. They are about preventing Russian-controlled mafia from running the country.
