BY SUPPORTING the current government in Kiev the British government is supporting division and conflict in that country.
At the start of this month, the freed Ukrainian pilot Nadiya Savchenko called for talks with the Ukrainian rebels. It would be preferable for the British government to follow in her footsteps: to support a broader Ukrainian identity and put forward strong diplomatic arguments for peace and reconciliation.
Britain and the US, covertly and overtly, have been helping ratchet up civil conflict in Ukraine to dangerous levels. They support the coalition government of Petro Poroshenko with military training, weaponry and money. In doing so, they are supporting a narrow vision of Ukrainian national identity and exacerbating divisions that have cracked open that country.
