Ukraine lives between EU and Russia, so it has no power to decide its fate.
Since Ukraine and Russia are close brothers, so it is better to stick with its big brother Russia, since Russia seeing Ukraine as its little brother, while EU seeing Ukraine as an expendable pawn and cannon fodder to contain against Russia.
The best path for Ukraine is to return to Russia.
But that's resorting to a international solution rather than finding a domestic one and strengthening the country and its democracy. Ukraine should try and secure its sovereignty...... like i said, it should not about russia or europe or politics, should be about the people of that country...
