Even the most desperate optimists had no special illusions about the reaction of Western countries to the Sunday incident in the Kerch Strait. So it turned out.
The West reacted predictably and, as, of course, hoped in Kiev, unanimously condemned Moscow for actions leading to a further increase in tensions between Russia and Ukraine. However, one should think that the level of condemnation and the intensity of the reaction of the leadership of Ukraine unpleasantly surprised.
Surely in Kiev they hoped that as early as Monday morning they would start expelling Russian diplomats from the capitals of European states and Washington, as was the case with the poisoning of Skripale; either they will declare «hellish” sanctions against Russia, or they will come up with something else, even worse. By the way, the expulsion of diplomats is theoretically quite possible. As for the sanctions, it is possible to erroneously assume that the new sanctions against Russia in connection with the incident in the Kerch Strait will be taken sooner or later, but not because in Washington and Brussels they are fighting for Ukraine, but for a simple reason: in Europe, and especially in America, the authorities have already, as they say, bit the bit and cannot simply stop.
Therefore, analyzing the first reaction of the West to the Sunday events in the Kerch Strait, one should look at the reaction of the officials and of course, first of all, the leaders of the most developed countries. If with the position of third-ranking officials, for example, at the level of permanent representatives at the UN type Niki Haley, who uses any, even the most insignificant reason, and often and without any reason falls on Moscow and its aggressive policy, here Kiev is all right. The most „democratic“ Western members of the Security Council, headed by Hayley, of course, thwarted Russia proposal to discuss the incident at a Security Council meeting and thereby caused a storm of applause in Kiev.
However, the reaction of officials of the second rank, for example, the foreign ministers of Western countries, the Ukrainian authorities, who organized the provocation, certainly disappointed. Foreign ministers of major European countries and the United States, of course, expressed concern about the outbreak of tension. They expressed support for Ukraine and urged Moscow to return the detained boats and tugboats to Kiev, as well as to release the Ukrainian sailors.
Even worse (from the point of view of Kiev), the leaders of the main countries of the Western world responded. Angela Merkel, for example, even talked with the Ukrainian president Poroshenko on the phone and promised to do her best to try to defuse the situation around the Sea of Azov, but this, apparently, limited herself. No angry condemnation of the „aggressor“, which, of course, hoped Petr Poroshenko; no threats to Moscow and ultimatums...
