This article talks about Ukraine and its joining the EU Free-trade pact or the Ex-Soviet Pact monitored by Russia. When the idea was proposed, Ukraine was considering but two days before the EU Summit in Vilnius, Ukraine declined the offer - ultimately joining the Ex-Soviet Trade Pact. Now, Ukraine has came back to the idea of the EU Free-trade pact, and is again considering while people are protesting on the streets. The view of the people is split. In addition, Ukraine is close to bankruptcy which makes the choosing of the pacts even more important. Russia has money and can help Ukraine, while the EU doesn't have that ability. We shall see the outcome soon.
