Ukraine is not a cold country ! Its right next to Turkey and in winter which is short, temperature hardly goes colder than -20 and average winter temperature is 0°C..
Now in my country´s north we had today -38,5 C lets talk about freezing temperature..
Conclusion
Warmer the country is.. more corrupted it is ( like fungus growth )

RT is blaming the US and Eu.
rt.com...
A snippet.
RT: Now, interestingly, this debate has gone beyond the EU borders because America has got involved, we’ve heard from the US Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, just this week, saying that an EU association would bring Ukraine back to economic health. Why do we have this involvement from America do you think?
PY: Well, of course when you’ve got a situation where the mayor of Toronto in Canada has been found smoking crack coc aine and he’s twice as popular in opinion polls locally as the US president is nationally in the United States of America, you have of course the fundamental reason why again in the political cycle the Obama government is discredited. They cannot implement health care, they have managed to have a string of failures in foreign policy, now what they’ve gone to, is they’ve gone back to the old neocon model of regime change one point zero. And that is absolutely disgraceful because we of course had great hope, the happy change thing of Obama has now become a myth and ultimately the terrible tragedy is that the people of Ukraine, the innocent, reasonable people who want to work for a better life, have become pawns in an extra-terrestrial supra national game, being led by the European Union and the USA in order to try and make it look to their domestic constituencies as if they’re capable of doing something in foreign policy.edit on 8-12-2013 by boymonkey74 because: (no reason given)

The problem for the Ukranian gov is that while the EU brings a carrot, Russia brings a stick. Everytime Ukraine starts talking to the EU or NATO Russia closes the border to Ukranian exports, cuts off the gas supply etc. As Ukraine goes so does Moldova. Having lost most of the other fomer Soviet Republics to the West or China Russia seems to only have a hold on Armenia, Belarus and Ukraine. The Ukraine has a huge chance at economic growth with the EU and none with Russia but, Russia is far more willing to threaten Ukraine than the West ever would be. If the Gov falls it will interesting to see what Russia will do. As its global influence continues to fade, keeping control in its own backyard is vital in Russias view. Miltary action would be a huge mistake as it would cause Europe to get nervous and begin a new wave of military growth that Russia can not compete with. China to the east, insurgancies to the south and NATO to the west, Russia is in a bad way unless they start working with the West.
