WNU Editor: Since last summer the Ukraine government has been purging from their ministries anyone that they suspect has pro-Russian leanings ... and I have read reports that literally thousands have lost their jobs and/or have been dismissed. This has naturally produced a lot of fear for those who are still employed .... and anger among those who have been fired. Political opponents are also being targeted .... and this in itself is raising tensions and bitterness among many which does not help the current climate .... but such is the state of Ukraine today.
