摘要

Russia marked the first anniversary of its war with Georgia with a verbal salvo against Ukraine. Russia's president, Dmitry Medvedev, wrote Viktor Yush-chenko, his Ukrainian counterpart, an open letter with a familiar litany of complaints: Ukraine was supplying arms to Georgia, complicating the life of Russia's Black Sea fleet (which is based in Sebasto-pol, a Ukrainian port), signing treacherous pipeline deals with the European Union, kicking out Russian diplomats and falsifying joint Soviet history.
