Ukraine’s protesters must ensure they convert the spirit of revolution into real democracy. In doing so, they should avoid the mistakes made by other states, especially Egypt.

With all eyes on the simmering crisis in Crimea, the new provisional Ukrainian government in Kyiv is sending few, if any signs that it is seeking reconciliation.

It is not clear how long the uncertainty over Ukraine’s new course will last. But the challenges that the country is facing are more obvious.

The situation in Ukraine is very unstable and dangerous, and Moscow's support of the delayed Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and non-recognition of the new authorities in Kyiv only adds to the tension.

The collapse of the Yanukovych regime in Ukraine became another posthumous chapter in the breakup of the Soviet Union. It will severely curtail Russia’s leadership ambitions in the post-Soviet space.
