It is disheartening to hear that, despite the lengths to which Ukraine has gone to protect Europe’s eastern flank from Russian aggression, key allies in Europe are still unwilling to support even a Membership Action Plan (MAP) for Ukraine. And many who support and fight for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, whether from within the country or externally, are rightly fuming that the United States and Germany announced on July 21 an agreement that will allow completion of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which clearly undermines the energy security of Ukraine as well as other eastern and central European countries.
