I commented on the dangers of making-nice with less-than-friendly powers and forgetting your allies. I found this on a Ukrainian news website.

As U.S. President Barack Obama gears up to "reset" Russia relations, Ukraine is in disarray. The country is teetering between economic collapse, Russian influence, and vague promises of Western support. It will take decisive moves from Washington to help pull Ukraine back from the edge. At the least, Obama should visit ailing Ukraine and prove that good relations with Russia don`t meant forgetting the rest of the region... [In the Ukraine] politicians are desperate for quicker solutions, even ones that may not have Ukraine`s long-term interests in mind. Enter Moscow, which has provided loans to the tune of several billion dollars already to Kiev and is interested in buying up more Ukrainian properties and assets. Russia might not be acting out of mere kindness of heart; a campaign to regain its sphere of influence might be at work... Visible U.S. support for Ukraine is critical as the country struggles through the coming months.
As I said: Ukraine is screwed.
