( ・-・) Holodomor has nothing to do with current events on Ukraine unlike "fascism" which might have a bit of relevance to far-right government that rose to power. If you were following the uprising, you probably noticed that its leaders were pretty much the same people who are responsible for the Orange Revolution. Police should have actually shot at protesters.

Current problem is that Eastern Ukraine doesn't want to be under new rule, but Putin chickened out instead of helping it, which is highly illogical after his annexation of Crimea by force when he promised to protect anyone speaking Russian. Unfortunately, he isn't "ruthless militaristic dictator who wishes to invade and conquer neighbours" despite of being portrayed as such in some mass media. Crimea was sought after by Russia, Turkey and NATO as it gives a strategic control over Russia's access to the Black Sea.

I'd also like to remind you that Ukraine was an integral part of Russian Empire and USSR and as such there are deep ties between two peoples effects of which on general population you might not perceive through political news.
