Russia's War Against Ukraine
OP-ED
Timothy Garton Ash: A century on, the first world war is still being played out
There is war in Europe. No, I’m not using the historic present tense to evoke August 1914 (and rile John Humphrys). I'm talking about August 2014. What is happening in eastern Ukraine is war – "ambiguous war", as a British parliamentary committee calls it, rather than outright, declared war between two sovereign states, but still war. And war rages around the edges of Europe, in Syria, Iraq and Gaza.
