In case anybody forgot what the Ukraine, Poland, and the Baltics think about the Russian invasion of Georgia, there was a strong reminder this week at the UNGA:
Victor A. Yushchenko, the president of Ukraine, told the General Assembly that his country condemned Russia’s action and he hinted that Ukraine would not succumb to Russian intimidation over its ambition to join NATO.
“It is essential to turn down blackmailing and threatening vocabulary,” Mr. Yushchenko said.
He said Ukraine opposed all acts of aggression in the region, as well as Russia’s recognition of independence for the two separatist Georgian enclaves, South Ossetia and Abkhazia. The “renewal of the rhetoric of the cold war provokes our deep concern,” Mr. Yushchenko said.
