Guest post: EU and Ukraine must build a bridge between east and west | beyondbrics

"It is rare that world leaders have a chance to pragmatically achieve an idealistic goal, to unite bold dreams and careful statesmanship at the same time. Yet such an opportunity is now upon us, as the time for the European Union and Ukraine to come closer together, to create a bridge between east and west, is at hand.

In November, the EU and Ukraine are expected to sign an association agreement that will expand trade and travel between the two, and encourage closer integration.

After some stumbles, Ukraine is now on the road that other former Soviet-bloc countries travelled a decade ago. Step by step it is fulfilling the conditions set by the EU for the signing of the association agreement."
