I think that only the experience will tell us is it good for Ukraine to have Yanukovych as the President. If you look five years back, you would see a lot of expectations, which have never became reality.
Knowing Mr Yanukovych as the Prime Minister gives for the Ukrainians more hopes.
Furthermore, moving issue of Ukrainian membership in NATO from the agenda will help Ukraine to concentrate on its own development and achieve its own objectives and goals.
