A Call to Action

Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Freedom's front line: "In the longer term, to say, as I believe we should, that a democratic Ukraine has its proper place in the EU, is the best support we could give Ukrainian democrats. Immediately, though, we need the hardest, sharpest warning that Europe, the US and any other democracy that has influence in Kiev or Moscow can deliver. A group of students in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv send us this appeal via the BBC website: 'We just hope Yanukovich decides not to turn the guns on us ... Don't let them kill our will.'"
