EU gives up hope on Ukraine deal at Vilnius summit - NEWSEUROPE | NEWSEUROPE:
"EU diplomats have given up hope Ukraine will sign an association and free trade treaty at the Vilnius summit later this month.
The rupture comes after Ukrainian authorities on Monday (11 November) charged Serhiy Vlasenko, the lawyer of jailed former PM Yulia Tymoshenko, with domestic violence in a case which could see him also jailed for three years.
The move came 48 hours before a European Parliament mission on Wednesday in Brussels gives a final verdict on whether Ukraine has stopped “selective justice.”
It also came one week before EU foreign ministers next Monday decide whether to sign the pact at an EU summit with former Soviet states in the Lithuanian capital on 27 November."
