Ukraine Will Not Cede to Russian Power
Victor Yushchenko, President of Ukraine | August 25, 2008
The conflict in Georgia has exposed the dangers of ignoring "frozen conflicts" as well as the UN’s lack of helpful precautionary tools. ++ The absence of democracy and free media in breakaway regions breeds corruption and human rights abuses, posing a threat to the development of adjacent nations. ++ Wider international representation is the only way to successful peacekeeping. ++ Ukraine is a hostage in the war waged by Russia but upholds its support for Georgia and will continue following the path of Euro-Atlantic integration.
