citing and POV

Such diplomacy helped Kravchuk to retain and strengthen his power over Ukraine during the transition from Soviet rule to independence. He was third in command in Ukraine's CPSU leadership before the fall of Soviet Union even though he didn't belong to the ruling Dnipropetrovsk group. He avoided inflexible positions towards democratic changes and was a compromise figure for both party conservatives and reformists."

Non-Proliferation Treaty
This academic paper belongs to a blacklisted website due to the lack of peer revision, However, in this specific case, it sources a relevant aspect that is the remove of nuclear weapons from Ukraine in charge of a credit line of 110 million dollars to buy American commodities.

Moreover, the Alexander Moroz's charges of Masonic membership moved to 300 high-ranked public officals (source: krainian Opposition Unveiled Masonic Conspiracy) concern the corruption of the country. Therefore, those facts were added within the Economics section of the WP article.Regards, Theologian81sp
