Abstract
This article surveys the West's engagement with Ukraine during the last decade and argues in support of a more robust, coherent and committed policy towards Ukraine. The West's ambivalent policy towards Ukraine was matched by Ukraine's amorphous and declaratory policy towards integration into Trans‐Atlantic and European structures. This weakly defined foreign policy was matched by an unclear commitment domestically to reform. The article is divided into six sections that cover Ukraine's strategic importance to the West and the rise of geopolitical pluralism in the post‐Soviet space. It then surveys Ukraine's reform record and the role of national identity in Ukraine's foreign policy. The article also discusses the ambivalence in both Western policy towards Ukraine and Ukraine's policy towards ‘returning to Europe’. Finally, the article makes six policy recommendations for Western governments to increase their strategic engagement with Ukraine.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
