Quotable notes

"Ukraine is now being determinedly transformed into a second Belarus, and this transformation is being furthered not only by the authorities but also by society. The most significant difference between Ukraine and the neighboring state is our hypocrisy: we continue to make pretensions [of decency], while they in Belarus have long ago ceased to bother themselves with such attempts."

- Zerkalo Nedeli on December 2, as cited by RFE/RL Poland, Belarus and Ukraine Report.
