UA embraces a softer, but not subtler, diplomacy.
Yushchenko has always looked to the West as a better economic model. With his recent appointment of a Putin rival to an advisory role, Yushchenko is clearly choosing a softer diplomacy than the Bush administration has ever employed. He hasn't labeled Russia as an Axis of Evil, but he has clearly sent a message that Ukraine is no longer the submissive sibling to big brother Russia. Will this approach be effective or is it but the first of many missteps for this fledgling administration? Let's sit back, relax and enjoy the show!
