Guest post: what can the EU do to help Ukraine? | beyondbrics:



"Developments over the last few days in Ukraine make it clear that Ukrainians want to live in a modern European state that enjoys the same standards as their western neighbours. It is almost forgotten today that the people who took to the streets of Kiev in November 2013 did so to protest against their government’s decision to ditch an Association Agreement with the European Union. The protest was sustained for three months, most of the time in freezing cold weather and with the protesters being exposed to the brutal use of force by security services and government-paid groups of criminals. There is no other country in Europe where people put so much passion and are prepared to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the European idea."
