Ukraine's pm has political skill, common sense and wisdom
Location: United States
Message: The massive Russian troop movements into Georgia and the uncertainty regarding Russian intentions in that small country are worrisome to all freedom-loving peoples. Ukraine and all former Soviet republics need to analyze carefully Russia’s words and actions in the days and weeks ahead. Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko’s measured and appropriate statements show she is fully aware of what is at stake and is quite capable of defending Ukraine’s sovereignty while making sure all Ukraine’ s citizens, with their disparate interests and backgrounds, stand together in support of the national government in Kiev. Thanks for keeping us informed.

Building a better ukraine

Message: I wanted to write in and give you my full support in helping to build a better Ukraine. Even though your coalition is slim, you seem to push through all the accusations and confrontations and actually make a difference. Also I have seen a good number of articles on this site addressing the work of Mr. Nemyria, it is good to see Ukraine move closer and closer toward EU integration.

The fight for ukrainian democracy
Location: United States
Message: I read with much interest the April 21st article on BYuT's website discussing the increasingly urgent need for constitutional changes in Ukraine's government. I have followed as closely as possible your valiant struggle over the last several years to bring the fruits of democracy to your people. As you quite accurately pointed out to a group of journalists recently in Strasbourg, it is a shame the last round of Ukrainian elections did not bring about the rebalancing of authority needed to conduct an effective government. Ukraine obviously needs the reforms you are championing and I heartily applaud your goal of seeking those constitutional reforms by the end of this calendar year. The fact that you are reaching out to the Venice Commission for guidance and assistance proves beyond doubt that your motives are above reproach and that you continue to give highest priority to the best interests of the Ukrainian people. As you have repeatedly said, the people deserve the best from their leaders. The historical record is clear, Yulia: you have always done your best for the people of Ukraine. I am certain your efforts at constitutional reform will be met at every turn by your opponents and I am equally certain you will bring to this endeavor the same indefatigable courage and selfless dedication you have brought to every fight you have ever waged on behalf of your country and your people. Good luck in this struggle and may God bless you!

100 fabulous days of achievement!
Location: United States
Message: My heartiest congratulations to you, Yulia, on your fine achievements in your first 100 days in office! You’ve cleaned up Ukraine’s shadowy natural gas trade with Russia, fought corruption, replenished the nation’s treasury and kept your campaign promise to compensate people who lost their savings during the breakup of the USSR. Perhaps most importantly, after the chaos of these last years, you have brought honor to Ukraine and given your country a prominent and vital role on the world stage. In poll after poll, Ukrainians have named you as the most popular politician in Ukraine today. That accolade is well-deserved. You’ve restored competency to the government in Kiev; your courage, foresight and sound judgment are serving your citizens well. People all over the world admire you as you continue your battle against corrupt special interest groups and all those who would pull Ukraine back into the dark past. Best wishes to you and your colleagues and may God bless Ukraine!!!

Message: I have been trying to keep track of the gas talks between Ukraine and Russia. At first I was worried that the initial deal between Yushchenko and Putin would be a continuation of the corrupt gas transit system that came about in 2006, just under a different veil. However, I was proud to see that you and your party were able to hold your ground and remove the corrupt intermediaries. BYUT should truly be commended for helping Ukraine move out of the dark and into the light.

Message: I just finished catching up on your “Newsroom” articles from the past week. What marvelous things Yulia and her government have accomplished in less than six weeks…moving toward accession to the WTO, the prospect of a Free Trade Agreement with the EU, a closer and more responsible relationship with NATO, visible movement toward integration with Europe! Finally now, under Yulia’s dynamic leadership, Ukraine can be a respected and valuable player on the European and the world stage. This must be a fabulous time to be living in Ukraine!!! Yulia’s firm commitment to transparency and her total belief in the rule of law will indeed make Ukraine a “target for investors.” All Ukrainians will prosper dramatically from what Yulia has already accomplished and will continue to benefit as this Prime Minister does something very rare among politicians these days…Yulia actually keeps her campaign promises and makes herself accountable to the people she serves. I sincerely wish I could be with you at this exciting and magical time in Ukraine’s history.

Money for children
Location: Ukraine
Message: Hi, I sent a letter about this to an address at your other website but received no acknowlegement.
I am strong supporter of Julia and her policies, believe she is very brave woman who believes in justice.
About the ideas of paying people to have children; not a good idea. Why does Ukraine need more people at this time. Let's find good jobs and provide good health care for the people who are here already. If we have good jobs , a lot of people will come back to Ukraine also. This is treating the symptoms of the problem, rather than the cause. It is an inefficient use of state money; it is social engineering and no one has any idea what the results will be. What kind of people will choose to have children because they will be paid? What is the effect on evolution of Ukrainian people? What are effects on schools when all these children come of school age at the same time? Let Yanukovich back this crazy idea, not you, please.
On another matter, I think you should know that some people in Crimea have been led to believe that your review of privatization deals will include reviews of purchases of apartments by individuals living in those apartments; I suggest making a public statement to dispel this notion. I think in Ukraine you have to repeat over and over what you believe and what your plans are. Thank you for listening.
P.S. Do you have any ideas on handling the future water crisis in Crimea?
