Saturday mr Chechetov, one of the heads of Party of Regions (currently - opposition in Ukraine) fall down from his window in Kiev from 14th floor. Why there's no articles in western media that "Poroshenko killed Chechetov"? As you say, who cares?

I'm not exactly sure what's your point, and I'm not even sure you got my 'who cares' comment right. My 'who cares' was meant to be 'who cares who killed him', not 'who cares about the situation'.
As for the Chechetov case, I hadn't indeed heard about it. That said, Ukraine is in a quite chaotic state right now, and news such as that get lost easily amidst the chaos. And Ukraine is much less important globally, so it's natural there isn't as much interest in things like this. Besides, as far as I can tell, it was a suicide of a depressed man about to be held responsible for his misdeeds in the past, so not very surprising. Of course in an ideal situation a depressed man wouldn't be pushed so hard that he breaks completely.
And finally, I haven't seen a single accusation against Puting regarding this murder from local media where I live. The media here is quite neutral in issues like this, and doesn't rush to quick conclusions all that easily. Well, at least quality publications don't. And let's me assure you: If any prominent opposition politician was murdered like this in any western country, it'd get a ton of attention ('a ton' being dependant on the global importance of the country in question). It's not just Russia that gets handled like this.
