Kyiv Post: Western leaders slow in responding to Russian attacks on Ukraine
The leaders of Western countries are not moving fast in taking action to respond to Russia’s latest acts of aggression against Ukraine, in the wake of the Nov. 25 attacks on boats belonging to the Ukrainian navy on the Black Sea near the Kerch Strait that connects to the Azov Sea.
