Vitali Klitschko stops protestors from rioting. (Video)

[Young Stribling]

The world needs more people like Vitali and Manny.

It's rare to come across those who will spend their personal time to uplift their public communities in these times.

Are you running for office?

[BattlingNelson]

He never lacked stones. Badass.

[Weebler I]

Dude aint gonna fight again.

Why would people run for a meaningless belt? No belt is meaningless. Now get that ***** taste out of your mouth.

His title is meaningless because there can only be one true world champion and that is Wlad. Don't be angry, just accept reality.

Very briefly, there's some division in the country over which direction to take, whether to ally more closely with Western Europe (Vitalis people) or the government line which is to stay outta Europe and ally more closely (as I understand it) with Russia. There's also dissatisfaction with govt. corruption, and amongst some segments that the achievements of the 'orange revolution' are being betrayed by Russian influences.

Just recently - yesterday or so, the PM turned down a major trade partnership with the EU that would have considerably strengthened ties.

Those who support Vitali will say that Russia is interfering too much in the affairs of Ukraine, pro-govt supporters say that Vitali and his party are being bankrolled and are a front for major the political and business interests of the EU - notably Germany.
