Russia's War Against Ukraine
OP-ED
Alexander J. Motyl: Ukrainians die, as Europe coos
Ukrainian soldiers ride on truck on the road from Izyum to Slavyansk on May 19, 2014.
Excuse the lurid title, but it's only a variant of a headline that appeared many years ago in a New York tabloid: "Mother Dies, as Baby Coos." I can't speak for the accuracy of that headline, but today's variant is, alas, all too valid. Because the fact is that Ukrainian soldiers are dying at the hands of Vladimir Putin's terrorist hirelings as European states - and the European Union - are engaging the Kremlin with baby talk and diplo-babble.
