　　CCTV News (China News at 12: 00): The relationship between Russia and Ukraine has been stumbling, but the news that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev announced on Tuesday that he would suspend sending a new ambassador to Ukraine still surprised the world. Relations between Russia and Ukraine have never been so stiff since the collapse of the Soviet Union. What caused the relationship between the two countries to fall into the lowest point in history?

　　1. After the color revolution in The New York Times, USA, Russia and Ukraine drifted away.

　　Since Ukraine broke away from its close political ties with Russia through the Orange Revolution in 2005, the contradiction between the two sides has gone through a process from concealment to open confrontation. The current President Yushchenko is recognized as a pro-European faction. He has been trying to get rid of Russia’s influence on Ukraine in political, economic and cultural aspects, and his efforts to join NATO and the European Union have made Russia bitter. Last month, Russia and Ukraine just expelled two diplomats from each other, and now Russia has suspended sending ambassadors to Ukraine, and the relationship between the two sides has fallen to the lowest point since the collapse of the Soviet Union.


　　　　2. British "Independent" The United States supports Ukraine.

　　Not long ago, US Vice President Biden visited Ukraine. Biden made it clear that the United States will not sacrifice Ukraine’s interests because of Russia’s wishes. It is said that Russia has no privilege in Eastern Europe. Although Hillary Clinton later came out to "put out the fire", saying that the United States has always regarded Russia as a world power, Biden’s statement still exposed the deep-rooted structural contradictions between Russia and the United States. On energy disputes, joining the European Union and other issues, the United States has always stood on Ukraine’s side and opposed Russia’s pressure on Ukraine with its trump card of natural gas resources. However, the United States’ support for Ukraine is not unlimited. Faced with a Russia eager to restore its status as a great power on the world stage, Washington is unwilling to confront it head-on. At the same time, the EU also considers its own energy security interests and avoids being implicated in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.


　　　　3. Ukraine’s Kiev Post, Russia’s "failed" Ukrainian general election

　　Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said that Russia still cherishes the brotherly relationship between the two peoples, and he hoped that the new leaders in Ukraine will be ready to break the deadlock between Russia and Ukraine in the presidential election next January. Some analysts believe that Medvedev has despaired of the current Ukrainian government and hopes for the next leader. His statement will become a bargaining chip for all political parties in Ukraine. The opposition party with a pro-Russian stance will win the support of more voters. Therefore, some commentators believe that Russia’s move will interfere in Ukraine’s internal affairs with the intention of putting Ukraine under Russian political influence.
