The New York Times has front page articles reporting the latest news from Kiev, capitol of this eastern European nation. The President, Viktor Yanukovych, has fled, leaving a power vacuum in his wake. Former Prime Minister, Yulia V. Tymoshenko, just released from a prison hospital, spoke at Independence Square, announcing her release. She may run for office again in upcoming elections, despite obvious ill-health.
Citizens of the country, both east and west, were pleased with recent developments, but face an uncertain future. Vladimer Putin, President of Russia, has yet to make a formal statement on the change in the government. Outside observers, especially those from the EU, can only hope the situation does not deteriorate into civil war. Tensions between east and west Ukraine have divided loyalties.
More later.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
