1.
If this is true wil there be war betwen Russia and Ukraine?

Am a bit confused on what Putin wants.
Because he tries to solve the conflict with diplomacy but still there are weapons and people coming from the Russian border. Donersk have more tanks who i think come from Russia. Have you any thoughts on what Putin/Russia wants to happen with Ukraine?
3. Its a bit unclear for me to see who has the momentum so far. What are your friends and family telling you?
4.
Are the pro-russians suported by the people of the east?
5.
Can Poroshenko solve this crisis with a dialogue?
6.
Are Poroshenko corrupt? Read that he gave some pro Kiev oligarcs control over some cities.

You can ask all the questions that you want. If I have time .... I will try my best to answer them.

1) I doubt that there will be war between Russia and Ukraine. But if the situation get's worse .... anything will be possible.

2) Everyone is waiting to see what the new Ukraine President will do .... Russia is giving him an opportunity.

3) No one has the momentum right now. The rebels are too disorganized and the Ukraine military is too weak.

4) Pro-Russian sentiment is very strong in the eastern part of Ukraine.

5) Poroshenko does not strike me as someone who compromises through dialogue. We will know in the next few weeks if he is a good negotiator.

6) According to Wikileaks .... US diplomats regarded Poroshenko as one of the worse oligarchs in Ukraine 6-7 years ago. I would certainly not trust him .... but he is the new president and he should be given the chance to fix this mess. I give him 6 months, and after that we will know if he has been successful or not.
