both Georgia and Ukraine that they"will become members," their geopolitical fates have appeared to be tightly linked: post-Soviet Russian neighbors straining to join the West.

I think today they feel that more than ever, that the lack of a security guarantee leaves them vulnerable," the diplomat said.
