The Goldman Sachs control of the financial ministries of the European Union is one of loanshark capitalism, not a socialist concern for all.

as well as Goldman Sachs' control of many EU country treasuries.
Those aligned to Europe want independence from Russia. The dissolution of the
Soviet Union and separatation of the Ukraine from Russia was coordinated by the CIA

Socialism versus loanshark capitalism in the Ukraine: battleground between the EU
and Russia:
One effect of the G H W Bush, CIA and Harvard economists destabilization of the Soviet Union in 1991 was
the theft of the people's resources. Suddenly billionaire and centimillionaire oligarchs appeared in Russia
and the Ukraine. The Russian government has taken steps to return some of this wealth to the people. The Ukraine has not.
According to Wikipedia, the following are some of the richest people in the Ukraine. The 50 richest Ukrainians control 85% of the GNP.
Rinat Akhmetov is the wealthiest man in Ukraine.
Petro Poroshenko, a strong backer of Victor Yuschenko during the Orange Revolution, who went on to work for Victor Yanukovich, Yuschenko's opponent during those events.
Leonid Chernovetskyi, one of the first bankers in Ukraine, former mayor of the capital Kyiv.
Dmytro Firtash, the most important figure in the vital gas industry.
Andriy Klyuyev, a multi-millionaire with a long career in Ukrainian government with rapidly growing fortune and alleged close connection to the President's family.
Ihor Kolomoyskyi, the second/third richest person in Ukraine since at least 2006.
Viktor Pinchuk, the son-in-law of ex-president Leonid Kuchma who controls much of the nation's media.
Yulia Tymoshenko, former Prime Minister of Ukraine, speculated to be one of the wealthiest persons in Ukraine (although she claims to have a modest income).[6][7][8][9]
Serhiy Tihipko, a multi-millionaire with a long career in Ukrainian politics.
Pavlo Lazarenko, former Prime Minister of Ukraine now jailed in U.S. prison.
Vadim Rabinovich
Oleksandr Yaroslavskiy
David Zhvaniya
As of 2008, the combined wealth of Ukraine's 50 richest oligarchs is equal to 85% of Ukraine's GDP.
Former political leader Yulia Tymoshenko was a thief of the gas industry in the Ukraine. Frank Schumann, a German reporter, has written a book which is called “The Swindler” in Germany and in France as “The Princess of Gas”.
