While trying to find something on Oleksandr Moroz I did find this.
Like previously posted Yanukovych is not that great an ally of Russia, Put apparently backed him because he is least likely to join NATO. Again this is in large part about NATO. The idea is to disperse NATO troops throughout Europe, the South Caucasus and parts of Asia. Once NATO bases are established it is easy to convert to American bases. This be a humongous war they are preparing.
How closely will Yanukovych cooperate with Russia? A number of analysts (including those in Moscow) believe that Yanukovych, after becoming president, will promptly distance himself from Russia, the way Kuchma did in 1994. Of course, Yanukovych will find this more difficult to accomplish. Moscow will demand a reward for its support. In addition to building a “single economic space,” Russia will mount efforts to lure Ukraine into a “single defense space.” What makes the situation paradoxical is that the West, by supporting Yushchenko, is pushing Yanukovych into Russia’s embrace.
The way Russia and the West are behaving under the circumstances is a very important factor. After the presidential elections, US strategic centers, media, and foundations will have their hands free, and they will be following the Ukrainian campaign even more closely, although there is no evidence that newly re-elected President George Bush will seriously counteract Leonid Kuchma’s protege Viktor Yanukovych. After all, Kuchma and Yanukovych dispatched a Ukrainian battalion to Iraq, whereas Yushchenko took a markedly restrained stand toward the US war in that region. America, however, supports Yushchenko in principle because he is much closer to the West. Yushchenko’s presidency would once again bring Ukraine closer to NATO. - 16 November 2004 http://216.239.57.104/search?q=cache:toc5hx3GBP0J:www.day.kiev.ua/127579/+Oleksandr+Moroz+west&h....

"So the New World Order strategists are determined to put their man in control of Ukraine, at the presidential election on 31st October. Huge influence, and presumably money, is being pumped in to ensure a victory for Victor Yushchenko. Paul Wolfowitz said in Warsaw on 5th October that Ukraine should join NATO. Mark Brzezinski and Richard Holbrooke have rattled their sabers over Ukraine, and Anders Aslund, the architect of Yelstin's mass larceny, has eloquently outlined the West's strategic interest in that country. #msg-4674009
US Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz on Tuesday said it was important to expand NATO to Ukraine, where a pro-Western opposition candidate is tipped to win presidential elections later this month.
But there is another objective NATO is the means by which the United States will attempt to contain Russia and the Ukraine is strategically placed for such a purpose.
Perle, who believes that the White House should contain the Kremlin rather than cooperate with it, has criticized the campaign against Yukos shareholders from the beginning. http://www.sptimes.ru/archive/times/915/news/n_10814.htm
