So? The Ukranians didn't want the US and EU laws for their country.

That's fine, if it was the point of protesting Ukrainians. They are protesting something else (corruption of all politicians, including Janukovic and Klicko).

The main force using this talking point is the _US and EU press_.

The point is the filter the western media uses to vilify Yanukovych for passing laws that exist everywhere in the western world.

They are (probably, but some times it's more complicated than that) just as bad at all those places that have them.

Yanukovych is still as much a vilain.
