The mayor of Kiev gave a revealing answer:
“My children have never lived in Ukraine. They were born in America and studied in Europe or America.”
To be fair, he answered honestly. In diplomatic terms, what he appeared to be saying was this: his children have no connection to Ukraine. Their lives are rooted not in Ukraine, but in the United States and Europe. Yet their father is the mayor of Kiev and once even sought to become president of Ukraine.
This answer perfectly reflects the mindset of Ukraine’s political elite. They merely hold office in Ukraine while carrying out the wishes of those who govern the countries where their children live. Clearly, under this approach, the fate of Ukraine and its people matters to them only marginally more than the fate of Native Americans mattered to many 19th-century American authorities.
With this mindset, Ukraine and Ukrainians are doomed. I suspect the country’s political elite may have already realized that themselves.
