Saving Russia ... from Itself

Who Will Influence Whom? (Thomas Friedman) from the New York Times 
"The popular Ukrainian journalist, Vitali Sych, erupted: “Did anyone ask us whether we wanted to be part of his buffer zone?” Sych’s question cut right to the core of what is unfolding here. ... “This has become an existential fight for everybody,” explained Pavlo Sheremeta, Ukraine’s new economy minister, who added that his liberal Russian friends are calling him, saying: “Please hang on. Don’t betray us.” Don’t let Putin crush the model that Ukraine is trying to build, otherwise Russia will never change."
