Vice President Biden says the women in the Ukraine are definitely babe-ushkas.
After a two-day diplomatic visit to the former Soviet state, the too-talkative veep told President Viktor Yushchenko he was blown away by the gorgeous women.
“[They’re] the most beautiful women in the world. That’s my observation,” Biden said.
The famously loose-lipped veep was overheard making the comment to his host during an unscheduled visit to an Irish-themed pub in the capital of Kiev.
“It’s certain you have so many beautiful women,” the teetotaling Biden added as he sipped a Coke.
A court in Ukraine has sentenced Yulia Tymoshenko, the country’s former prime minister, to seven years in jail after finding her guilty of abusing her authority over a gas deal with Russia in 2009.
Judge Rodion Kireyev handed down the sentence on Tuesday, the maximum sought by state prosecutors, at the end of a three-month trial that has polarised society in the former Soviet republic and risks undermining Ukraine’s relations with the West.
The judge said her actions had led to a loss for Naftogaz of $188m.
It like only yesterday…

Well, the Ukraine girls really knock me out.
Also, since “babushka” means “grandmother” or “old woman”, “babe-ushka” really just means something like “GILF”.
Good Morning Charles,
I just read about her conviction. Ashame. I recall seeing a picture of her. She was indeed, a fairly attractive woman. But, I found it more important that she was in power and wished her well. Alas, some foolish business deal did her in.
Some foolish business deal and the current prime minister has a grudge.
She’s definitely a PMILF.
she probably did it, but who didn’t? it’s the former USSR. she’s a political prisoner. she’ll get out, get elected, and return the favor.
Yulia Tymoshenko is legitimately hot
It’s a shame that the picture of her on the front page of nytimes.com right now does not do her justice.
“It like only yesterday…” Is that a slur?
