The protester were jailed before the laws were repealed. It is only right and just they were released.

The leaders of these nations have to talk to their citizens. Really talk to them about the economics of the day and the difficulties the government is facing in improving their lives by increasing jobs.

In the case of the Ukraine, it faces commercial invasion by other nations that will prevent the Ukraine economy from even developing. The WTO has complaints made by the Ukraine leadership which is proof the leaders are attempting to increase industry in the country to provide good incomes to the people. If citizens don't understand what they are facing as a nation, the demonstrations result based on their understanding and what they believe is an oppressive government.

I am not saying the Ukraine government is perfect and the citizens are wrong. The people believe they understand all they need to understand. That is probably not the case and to deprive them of what their country faces is to treat them as though they are unable to understand. The Ukraine people are not stupid. They have a right to know.

I believe in local economies. In the USA local economies were more resistant to collapse than Wall Street. They were the quickest to recover and are growing, not just returning to 2008 status. The Ukraine government has to provide knowledge about how local economies can be beneficial, a culture and a quality of life. The Ukraine has great potential. It needs to achieve. It won't happen without the citizens seeking a resolve to grow their economy.

I congratulate the Ukraine government on this decision. It was the correct and best decision.

“Some 150 were held under arrest, while others were under house arrest or under oath not to leave the area,” he said.
Last week, President Viktor Yanukovych signed into law bills declaring an amnesty for demonstrators and canceling new unpopular anti-protest laws, in a move that marked his first real concession since mass anti-government protests erupted in November. The demonstrations followed the president’s decision to back away from planned association agreements with the EU in favor of closer ties with Russia....
