Do good relations with Russia mean a total abandonment of its neighbors? From Foreign Policy’s The Argument:
Russia has always had a knack for overshadowing its neighbors – and this time the
West, focused on Moscow, is distracted from a crisis in Ukraine. As U.S. President
Barack Obama gears up to “reset” Russia relations, Ukraine is in disarray.
The country is teetering between economic collapse, Russian influence, and
vague promises of Western support. It will take decisive moves from Washington to
help pull Ukraine back from the edge. At the least, Obama should visit ailing
Ukraine and prove that good relations with Russia don’t meant forgetting the
rest of the region.
