Ms Tymoshenko has avoided outright condemnation of Russia, leading analysts to suggest she may be hoping for Moscow's backing in a possible bid for the presidency in 2010.
What is certainly true is that a clash between Moscow and Kiev over the Crimea would probably cleave Ukraine in half and open up a dangerous conflict with widespread repercussions. But a more likely scenario is less dramatic.
Russia has only to wait for a change in Ukrainian politics. President Yushchenko may be a prominent leader but his long term-durability is not guaranteed. Opinion polls put his popularity at under 10%.
With presidential elections due in 18 months, the Kremlin may well reckon it can look for a more reliable partner in his likely opponent and current Prime Minister, Yulia Tymoshenko, who has been remarkably quiet on the Georgia crisis.

 --Ukraine's pro-Russian former prime minister Viktor Yanukovich welcomed the Kremlin's decision. And Ukraine's prime minister, Yulia Tymoshenko, has been cautious not to criticise Moscow. Tymoshenko's silence about the war and non-committal position over Nato membership has strengthened accusations that she is positioning herself for the "Moscow ticket" for the 2010 presidential elections. This is highly plausible, as Moscow will most likely be looking to diversify after its spectacular failure to fix the 2004 elections in favour of one candidate, Yanukovich.

--Moscow considers that Yushchenko is an aberration, who is trying to undermine the country and lead it away from the true path of unity with Russia. A military attack would amount to an acceptance of defeat: Unable to persuade Ukraine that the "Russian path" is the way forward, force would be an embarrassing last resort after the failure of trying to fix the elections in 2004.

Earlier this week, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko's party blocked a motion condemning Russia's actions in Georgia, and sided with the opposition to vote for a curb on the president's powers.

 Les adversaires de Timochenko en ont profité pour l'accuser d'avoir pactisé en sous-main avec Moscou, en échange d'un soutien russe à sa candidature pendant la présidentielle.

Считаю, что даже эти отрывки могут подтвердить, что обвинения Ющенко имеют основания.
