NYT: Gettysburg on the Maidan

[Feral Cat]

Я не згоден із заголовком, бо мій герой то якраз Генерал Роберт Лі, але останній параграф вартий уваги.

There is no question that Putin has exploited a perception of American weakness that began in Syria with President Obama’s retreat there from his “red line” against the use of chemical weapons — a retreat that at once underwrote President Bashar al-Assad, strengthened Putin and undermined American credibility. Ukrainians have now died fighting for American and European values of liberty and pluralism. After its Gettysburg on the Maidan, a free and independent Ukraine is a critical U.S. interest and test.
