Four years after the EU’s push for closer ties with Ukraine provoked Russia and helped start a revolution, the country is ravaged by war and nearly broke.
Having economic and diplomatic relations with a Ukrainian government that wanted to reach out to the free and prosperous West somehow "provoked" Russia into invading Ukraine?
Ukraine as an independent state had--and has--every right to order its foreign policy without a friggin' Russian veto over Ukrainian actions that the West--whether the EU as it is for now, or NATO with American participation--goes along with?
Russia had no right to invade Ukraine and annex territory regardless of Ukraine's fully lawful and peaceful foreign policy.
Or are you trying to tell me that Moldova deserves the Russian Treatment, too, for the crime of wanting to be part of the West?
The U.S.-led NATO alliance will open a new security cooperation center in neutral Moldova, a small Eastern European country locked in a territorial dispute with Russia.
This is NATO rather than the EU, but the logic is all the same, I assume. Moldova is asking for it, right?
Stop making excuses for Russian aggression--which sadly is the key component of Russian "hybrid" warfare.
