From Iran shooting down a Ukrainian plane to their president’s role in the U.S.’s impeachment saga, many Ukrainians are tired of their country being caught up in events over which they have little control.
President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky looks on during a meeting in New York on Sep. 25, 2019, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.For Ukraine, there is an unwelcome historic echo to the crash: in 2014,, Russian-backed rebels shot down a Malaysian Airlines passenger jet over the country’s disputed eastern region, killing 298 people.
Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union until it declared independence in 1991 and has in recent years turned towards NATO and western Europe for its security, angering Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose forces annexed Crimea in eastern Ukraine in 2014. “We’re disappointed that Ukraine hasn’t got a strong voice on the global stage, and as a result you can only see U.S. or Russian policy acted upon Ukraine,” said Yaroslave Ostapchuk, 44, a university professor.As Trump’s impeachment dominates headlines in the U.S., for many Ukrainians the conflict with Russia still looms far larger.
