So, You mean to say that someone who is elected in ostensibly democratic circumstances should *not* be supported because one segement of the society finds the person not to their benefit? Do you think the Ukrainian people are children who need to shun any leader who isn't absolutely "pure" because they are too simple to firmly reject what isn't in their own best interests?
