Mr. Anderson, I would say that players in Maidan are playing both a positive and negative role.
On the negative side, the Pravy Sektor, the Right Sector, forces and some from Svoboda, the Freedom Party, have been given three government positions. I do think there has been an inflation of the concerns about the role of these parties. Their polling is very low, so they're not likely to do well in the upcoming elections, but it is worth keeping an eye on, also to help ensure that inflammatory statements and extremist measures are condemned as quickly as possible.
On the positive side, I think we've seen the interim government step up in very difficult circumstances. Let's keep in mind that they inherited the leadership rather unexpectedly; Yanukovych departed rather quickly, and then within a week they were faced with a Russian invasion. So their challenge is made doubly difficult.
I do worry that parties in Ukraine have been too dependent on personalities and not on platforms. That's where I think Canada, the U.S., and Europeans could provide some assistance.
