Russia's War Against Ukraine
OP-ED
John R. Schindler: The fate of Ukraine
Ukrainian servicemen carry on Jan. 20, 2015 at Independence Square in Kiev, the coffin of Sergii Nikonenko, 53, fighter of Azov volunteer battalion, who died during ATO (Anti-Terrrorist Operation) in the east of the country.
Events this week may finally wake up Kyiv to the reality it is facing. Ukraine is at war with Russia. It has been so for many months, as was obvious some time ago to those with eyes wanting to see. Ukraine’s government has not been in that group, and as military reverses mounted, hiding from painful facts has continued. In their own way, Kyiv mouthpieces have been nearly as dishonest in their depictions of the Russian-Ukrainian War as the Kremlin.
