Ambassador Pifer Offers Commentary on Tymoshenko Conviction
Appeared in Brookings Institution website, October 13, 2011
Steven Pifer, former United States Ambassador to Ukraine, provides insight into the pressing subject of the conviction of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. Ambassador Pifer notes the remarkable combination of international condemnation -- a rare agreement from Europe, Russia, and the United States -- diplomatic pressure from US and EU representatives, and the prospect of a slow and reluctant capitulation by Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovych. Ambassador Pifer's article in full is available on the Brookings Institute website.
Steven Pifer’s career as a Foreign Service officer centered around Europe, the former Soviet Union and arms control. In addition to Kyiv, he has had postings in London, Moscow, Geneva and Warsaw as well as on the National Security Council. Ambassador Pifer is currently a Visiting Fellow at the Brookings Institution, focusing on Ukraine and Russia issues. He is a frequent invited expert speaker at The Europe Center.
