The Western media tends to place a lot of emphasis on official institutions in Ukraine such as its supreme court, the central election commission, and the parliament. In reality, the people of Ukraine now control their destiny.

The demonstrators in Ukraine will persevere and succeed, or grow tired, cold and fade.
