Samuel Charap: Why Ukraine must bargain with Russia
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko (L) welcomes US Vice President Joe Biden (R) prior to talks in Kyiv on Nov. 21, 2014.
Vice President Joe Biden traveled to Kyiv last week for his third visit to Ukraine's capital in the past seven months. He arrived bearing gifts: additional nonlethal military aid for the embattled Ukrainian government, including body armor, helmets, night-vision goggles, and countermortar radar. The first three of 20 promised countermortar radar systems were flown to Ukraine aboard a cargo plane accompanying Air Force Two the day the U.S. vice president arrived.
