Political scientist Sergey Mikheyev comments on the situation in Ukraine and says which candidates have better changes in the coming presidential elections. After three-month protests in Ukraine, President Viktor Yanukovich was removed from his position. The presidential authority was given to the new speaker of the parliament from the Batkivshchina faction, who declared a return to the Constitution of 2004, the release of ex-premier Yulia Timoshenko and set the date of the presidential elections in May 25. Parallel to this, the parliament annulled the law "On the state language policy" that gave regional status to Russian and other languages in Ukraine, threatened to ban certain channels, including Russian and Belorussian, questioned the authority of certain deputies and formed a new government.
