As much as I admire Ukraine's decision to turn to Europe and become a functioning parliamentary democracy, Western and European nations shouldn't succumb to their idealization of Ukraine as a beacon in the fight for democratic values and the defense of the West. The danger seems to me that as much as Russia is misreading Ukraine, so does "the West": the former in its contempt for Ukraine as "Russia minor", the later in its idealisation of Ukraine and its fight for liberal values the West itself hasn't been capable to succeed in.
