National broadcasting counsel and Ukrainian nation

Viktor Yushchenko, the current president of Ukraine, has been deeply concerned with cultural policy as well as ethnic and national identity problems since he took power in 2005. He has made daring and I dare say questionable decisions emphasizing his views on things that don't really interest many Ukrainians and are looked upon quite differently by many others. The president’s strategic goals are well-known. He wants Ukraine to be modernized in a European way and to join European Union and…See More
