Ukraine Is in Danger of Becoming a Failed State - Bloomberg View

The most effective thing Russian President Vladimir Putin did to destabilize Ukraine was the one thing the West was demanding: He leaned on pro-Russian separatists in the country's east to cease fire. Left without the much-used cover of a war, the internal divisions and dysfunctional core of the Ukrainian political elite didn't take long to reveal itself. Rather than the democratic hope it might have become after last year's "Revolution of Dignity," Ukraine now looks like just another incompetent and corrupt post-Soviet regime. It's no wonder cracks are appearing in Kiev's all-important relationship with the West.

Good article by Bloomberg. The most interesting, that people in Russia and some in Ukraine 2 years ago were saying exactly that thing and nobody heard them. Now needs to be an expert to say such obviuos point.

The problem with this article is stated in the first sentence and it should be as obvious as the remainder of the article........Putin did not destabilize Ukraine.
I don't think people realize how propaganda works or just how insidious propaganda is.

I don't believe the IMF or EU are going to allow Ukraine to fail. They need a resolution to the situation in the East of Ukraine as it plays an important role in the economic health of Ukraine as a whole and therefore the West's ability to reclaim the debts owed. A change in leadership is probably necessary, though I would be surprised if the West kicked Rabbit to the curb.
