Sen. Schumer proposes return of Russia’s hegemony in Central and East Europe
Senator Schumer
On June 3, 2008, Senator Schumer (D-NY) published an article in The Wall Street Journal entitled “Russia Can Be Part of the Answer on Iran.” In this article, Sen. Schumer suggests that the most effective means to deter Iran from developing nuclear weapons is to impose stronger economic sanctions. However, it would require cooperation of several nations, including Russia.
In order to encourage Russia to join the economic sanctions against Iran, Sen. Schumer proposes that the United States dismantle the anti-missile system in Central Europe as it “mocks Mr. Putin's dream of eventually restoring Russian hegemony over Eastern Europe.” He also proposes to recognize Russia’s “traditional role” in the Caspian region, and “make Russia whole if it joins in our Iranian boycott.”
As members of the Ukrainian American community, we should express our indignation over such statements. For your convenience, please find a sample letter to Senator Schumer by clicking on Read More below. You can send your correspondence via fax: 202-228-3027 (Washington, D.C. office)
