Anders Aslund: The disastrous EU summit on the European partnership
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko (L) is greeted by President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker on the second day of the fourth European Union eastern Partnership Summit in Riga, on May 22.
The European Union's Summit on the Eastern Partnership, held May 21-22 in Riga, was a disaster for Ukraine. For friends of democracy, the rule of law, and Ukraine, it would have been better had this EU summit never taken place and its joint declaration never written.
