As Russian opinion makers continue to accuse the Ukrainian leadership of betrayal, ungratefulness and duplicity, the Kremlin may be locking itself into an escalation that it will find ever more costly to stop. As the anti-Ukrainian media campaign continues, the likelihood that the confrontation between Kyiv and Moscow gets out of hand increases. The West should as soon and as clear as possible make clear to the Russian leadership the entire array of economic, financial, political and diplomatic repercussions that a Russian strangulation of the Ukrainian economy would have for Moscow. Such an early signal should help Moscow to get a clear picture of the risks it will face in the case of an escalation, and accept the new reality of a Ukraine gradually integrating into Europe.
