Russia's War Against Ukraine
OP-ED
Mikheil Saakashvili: Ukraine is today’s West Berlin
A convoy of Pro-Russian militants in 2S1 Gvozdikas (122-mm self-propelled howitzers) takes a break as they move from the frontline near the eastern Ukrainian city of Starobeshevo in Donetsk region, on Feb. 25, 2015.
A year ago, events on Kyiv's Maidan square led to the demise of the corrupt, pro-Russian regime of Viktor Yanukovych and to the victory of Ukraine's pro-European forces. Now Ukraine is engulfed in a nearly full-blown war with Russia and its local proxies. The total area of Ukraine no longer under government control is larger than the size of the Netherlands, and Ukraine's economy is in free fall while Russia's stumbles under the weight of Western sanctions.
