I’ve cited many times former Ukrainian president Victor Yanukovich explaining that he felt like a bride greeted with a prenup at his wedding, when discussing the broken negotiations over Ukraine’s potential 2013 deal with the EU.
That was wrong. It was Angela Merkel talking about him: “I feel like I’m at a wedding where the groom has suddenly issued new, last minute stipulations.”
Oops.
