In a few months, the
EU will decide whether to sign an Association Agreement with Ukraine. President
Viktor Yanukovych is, however, focused on a different agenda - how to win a second term in
2015. He's ready to go to any lengths to bring that about, reports Sergii Leshchenko. 
Ukraine’s President
Yanukovych has completed his takeover of his country’s TV channels, and is
making inroads into the internet. As
Ukraine faces a choice of whether to align itself with Europe or Eurasia,
Sergii Leshchenko wonders if there is a way back. 
Last
October, Ukraine’s ruling Party of the Regions won only a slim election victory,
but President Viktor Yanukovych has taken the opportunity to pack his new
government with members of his ‘Family’ – and to level new and grave charges at
jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko. Sergii Leshchenko reports.
