One might have expected the heroic commitment of Ukrainians to Europe’s democratic ideals to trigger a rush of Western support for the country in its battle against Russian aggression and economic instability. But that has not been the case.
你也许认为乌克兰人对欧洲式民主理想的英勇决心会给他们带来大量西方支持，帮助他们抵抗俄罗斯的入侵和经济动荡。但并非如此。事实上，尽管上一次2014年欧盟领导人峰会做出了“坚持”对俄罗斯实施制裁的勇敢决定，但并没有采取行动援助乌克兰。
