Alexander J. Motyl: What new Ukrainian exceptionalism?
Ukrainian servicemen stand beside a heavy machine gun at a position held by Ukrainian forces near the village of Dzerzhynsk, Donetsk region on July 4.
Having just lauded Kennan Institute Director Matthew Rojansky and two colleagues for a fine piece on Ukraine's relationship with the United States, I hate to change my tune and criticize him for a subsequent article co-written with a Ukrainian academic, but their views on the "new Ukrainian exceptionalism" are so divorced from reality as to be mystifying.
