The decision of the Ukrainian government to stop the process of signing an association agreement with the EU inspired a predictably negative reaction in the Western media. Western governments and the EU diplomats weighed in accusing Russia of "blackmailing" Ukraine out of the association agreement. VoR's Dmitry Babich gives his analysis.
The American Department of State expressed its “disappointment” and the Polish ministry of foreign affairs expressed its “dissatisfaction” with the fact that Ukraine abandoned its European project on its final stages. But is the situation that black and white and did Ukraine really “abandon” its European integration?
