George Weigel: Ukraine’s determined will is inspiration for rest of world

During the EuroMaidan Revolution, if I remember correctly, one of the brave souls who stood fast in support of the promises of Ukraine’s independence said, “We came to the Maidan looking for Europe, and we found Ukraine.” By which I think he meant that Ukrainians found in each other the solidarity that had been previously missing in their country.

And from that solidarity, this man seemed to believe, a new Ukraine – a prosperous and democratic Ukraine, governed by the rule of law and taking its rightful place in the West – would be born.
