Mr. Putin appears to be quite sad in the photo with Mr. Yushchenko. He should be sad, considering he sunk $600 million into Yanukovich's campaign.
Mr. Yushchenko is being very diplomatic by saying "came close to being interference." Mr. Putin, along with Mr. Kuchma just bet on the "wrong horse".
Hopefully Mr. Putin will finally realize that "Imperial Russia" is no more and concentrate on the problems facing the Russian people.
they didn't just bet on the wrong horse -- they tried to kill the wrong horse .................
