Luida,
I’ve read the original article in Ukrainian. It holds a mirror to what goes on in between Yalta European Strategy annual gatherings: L'Union européenne often treats "non-Forbes" Ukrainians as subhumans.

I mean, did you find the article while reading the Detroit Free Press, or did you follow an external link?
sorry - found the article via external link. What else but 'Google'!
Sorry about the misunderstanding.

It's OK, Luida:) You're always welcome!
Sorry to be so shallow, but I must say it's nice to see Yush looking a lot healthier these days. ;-)
And gutsier, too;)!
