No shame

If this report is true from Maidan, these people have no shame.

Gangs of Donetsk "guests" are now massively traveling throughout Ukraine and demanding from representatives of the government in areas where Yanukovych lost
the election, to return the money which was given to them to organize the election campaign for Yanukovych.

These messages are coming in from Khmelnytsk, Zhytomyr, Kyiv Provinces. Representatives of the government are explaining that this money was spent long ago, and it is not their fault that "this is the way the people are."

It's hard to know why they call them "guests" from the information here, but the clear implication is they are Yanukovych supporters.

If true, it looks like this is further evidence that Yanukovych is out of money. But it is also an admission big time that money was paid by Yanukovych supporters to government officials to bring in the vote.

It will be interesting to see if more comes out on this.
