The prominent American journalist and historian Anne Applebaum urged continued support for Ukraine as she accepted a prestigious German prize on Sunday, saying pacifism in the face of aggression is often nothing more than appeasement.

She made her appeal to an audience in Frankfurt, where she was awarded the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade.
