Untitled[edit]

I am almost certain that Kuchma's platform was stronger ties with Russia. Granted, he didn't badmouth the West; but he was appealing strongly to people who felt the severing of econ relations with Russia post-'91 was responsible for Ukraine's economic downturn. --GenkiNeko 01:33, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

You're absolutely right. It was an erroneus edit from some amateur. I just can't find time for editing those Ukrainian-political pages professionally. And can't catch between partisan comtributions :) AlexPU

Yushchenko[edit]

The following text is POVed and hardly relevant in its current form:

President Kuchma, along with Viktor: Medvedchuk, then the Vice Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, is believed to have played a key role in sacking the Cabinet of Viktor Yushchenko on April 26, 2001.

Sacking Yushchenko is definitely neither a crime nor even a guilt. Moreover, it has been at President's will intil Jan 1, 2006. Medvedchuk is irrelevant in terms of public/official politics: he wasn't the one who voted.

Most important: sacking Yushchenko was hardly the main event in Kuchma's career.

Now[edit]

It says he left the country. Where he lives now? Luka Jačov 14:13, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, he's still here with us :)). Ukrained 14:38, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bias[edit]

I removed a bit in the opening about improving the economy and improving ties with Russia. The way it is stated is as if the writer triers to dismiss the fact the man was heavily corrupt. Not to mention they give no proof. 174.114.231.69 (talk) 19:48, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish???[edit]

Is Kutchma or his ancestors Jewish? I mean, he has close ties to Jewish oligarchs, and his daughter married one, so I was wondering if his family was originally Jewish. Thanks in advance to anybody who knows. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.98.149.164 (talk) 15:48, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Should Kuchma's decision to participate in the invasion of Iraq be mentioned under foreign policy.[edit]

Here's a source; https://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/jul/03/iraq — Preceding unsigned comment added by ConfusedAndAfraid (talkcontribs) 05:09, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Invasion of Iraq?[edit]

Is it correct to say Ukraine took part in the 2003 invasion of Iraq? As I understand it, they did not take part in the invasion but in the later security/peacekeeping operations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.205.157.181 (talk) 19:43, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
