Unconditional support for Ukraine is not in the national interests of the United States, maintaining good relations with Russia is certainly more important than good relations with Kiev. The Washington Post writes about it..
According to a newspaper columnist, The United States and Ukraine are not long-term strategic partners, Washington needs to pay more attention to relations with Russia.
The US and Ukraine are not friends in the long run. Ukraine is not a bastion of Western democracy
– According to the newspaper, drawing the attention of readers, that throughout its existence, Ukraine has constantly “rushed from one extreme to another”, demonstrating something pro-Western, then pro-Russian views.
No guarantee, that the Ukrainian government will continue democratic reforms. And even if it happens, the country will still be next to Russia. The unfortunate truth is, that Ukraine will always be less important for American foreign policy, than Russia. maybe, Russia is a great power, which is in decline, but it still has the ability to undermine US foreign policy around the world
– claims the author of the material.
therefore, newspaper writes, Washington needs to build relations with Russia, not with Ukraine, despite, what “Moscow is pursuing a policy hostile to the US”.
You can not love the politics of Russia, but America won't win anything, if he becomes even more hostile towards her, and lose more, if unable to work on issues, of mutual interest
– concludes the paper.
