Ukraine’s muddle-through: running out of time? | beyondbrics:
"Reports from Kiev say opposition party headquarters have been raided by government troops and independent media outlets taken off the air. Meanwhile, in what looked like a conciliatory move, President Viktor Yanukovich said he would meet three former presidents on Tuesday to find a compromise to Ukraine’s rapidly-deteriorating political crisis.
It looks like a high-stakes version of muddle-through, the strategy that has kept Yanukovich in power as Ukraine’s economy has sunk into recession. But how long can the president last?
Chris Weafer of Macro-Advisory, a bespoke consultancy service covering Russia and the CIS, says frankly that it is “too early, and far too speculative, to make any predictions about what happens next”. That said, he offers some pointers."
