Ukraine's situation

When the new government was set up in Kiev and the fighting stopped, that was not the end of this story.  As you know, Russia did not like the outcome and sent troops across Ukrainian borders.

Greg Satell, contributor at Forbes, makes these corrections to Western media reports about the  Ukraine story:

1. The new government is not inept, but experienced - not undemocratic, but rather chosen by their own parliament. 

2.  The country is not radically divided against itself.

3.  Ukraine's forces are very competent and not helpless victims.

4.  Russia does not totally have the upper hand.
