Western investment in Ukrainian repression

American and European aids are literally financing violent repression in Eastern Ukraine. In addition, NATO, even in this dramatic hour, is increasingly provoking Russia and radicalizing Eastern pro-independence rebels. Western mistakes do not justify Russian ones, of course, but a question remain unanswered: why are not we, the West, using our financial help to encourage fair local elections and a self-government process, instead of war, in the East?
We wish success to Merkel-Holland mission, but we can't see any sign of repentance in Western mainstream. Let's hope in soldiers who surrender, officials who betray, people who rebel. They can change disintegration into hope.
