Cartoon

Admittedly inspired by a cartoon published in The New York Times, the Kyiv Post asked its cartoonist Anatoliy Petrovich Vasilenko to also make light of the European Union’s penchant for statements, verbal condemnations and advice that appear to be falling on deaf ears in President Viktor Yanukovych’s administration.

Many Ukrainians are fed up with Western verbal backing and want to see
sanctions applied, such as visa bans and bank freezes. The United States
and Canada have obliged by banning unspecified numbers of Ukrainian
officials from entering those countries. The EU has not yet gone the
sanctions route.
