Russia's War Against Ukraine
OP-ED
Halya Coynash: Where are the sanctions?
There were overt – and successful – efforts to disrupt the elections in two regions, and there are now large numbers of trucks with armed fighters crossing the Russian border into Ukraine. Only the ’grave consequences’ for Russia are yet to be seen. Ukraine has received well-earned praise over the last two days for conclusive presidential elections and a significant turnout against all odds. The West, and especially the EU, have been disturbingly silent, however, with regard to the source of all such ‘odds’, and the warnings to Russia they themselves issued.
