This report analyzes the instability in Ukraine on the eve of the 25 May 2014 presidential election and offers recommendations on how to rebuild and reform the country and reverse the geopolitical standoff it has provoked. More specifically, it examines the Kyiv government's attempts to assert itself in the country and suggests it appears to have lost control of parts of the country to separatists. It also examines pro-Russian unrest in the south-east, the actions of Ukrainian far-right groups, the potential future of the country, as well as Russian and Western policies towards Ukraine and each other.
