By Volodymyr Yermolenko. An open letter to Die Welt newspaper

Dear Sir/Madam,

I was surprised to read an article yesterday published in your newspaper and written by Mr. Ulf Poschardt calling on the West to “embrace” Putin. The provocatively-titled article did not once mention Ukraine after the first paragraph, as if the country at the centre of today’s events did not exist.
