Carl Bildt: Ukraine’s vote, Russia’s fate

Members of the Ukrainian Parliament and Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk applaud after a vote for a bill establishing an anti-corruption bureau in the country on Oct. 7, 2014 in Kyiv.
When Ukraine's voters go to the polls on Oct. 26, not only the fate of their country will be at stake; so will the future of a significant part of Europe. To put it simply: the future of Ukraine will decide the future of Russia, and the future of Russia will have a substantial impact on the future of Europe.
