My vision for Ukraine
KIEV — After my father’s death, my mother went to the military pension office to collect her survivor’s benefit. No, the clerk told her, she was out of luck, there would be no more payments for us. Dumbstruck, she left the office wondering how the family of a career officer could be thrown to the wolves like this. The clerk chased her...
Mogherini’s very good year
Federica Mogherini will next week clock up one year in office as the European Union’s foreign policy chief. That anniversary looks insignificant beside the geo-political crisis that is unfolding in Syria, where the EU watches helplessly as Russian planes fly bombing missions to assist President Bashar al-Assad, just as earlier it watched...

He’s a billionaire, media mogul, chairman of his own political party, deputy prime minister and finance minister. He’s also popular, trusted by 64 percent of people in...
A democratic misstep for Ukraine
International monitors from the OSCE judged Ukraine’s local elections held this Sunday to be largely competitive, free and democratic. While this was true for most of the country, the vote was also a major setback for the Ukraine’s efforts to integrate the citizens of its Russian-speaking East. Some 2 million Ukrainians from the...
Sarkozy’s Russian fling
Once upon a time, Nicolas Sarkozy was such a fervent admirer of the United States that an American diplomat described him in 2009 as “the most pro-American French president since World War II,” according to a Wikileaks embassy cable. That version of Sarkozy seems to be lost, replaced by one whose gaze points east. On Thursday, the conservative...
