Option 3 is neither, but having Russia as the neighbour it’s difficult. Empire decease - thinking what others have is yours - is not easily curable and as long as Russia wants to take control of Ukraine, option 3 is not possible.
Since you are a relatively weak country between two great powers it’s true that you might not have much choice. But I would suggest that the Euro option is not going to be good in the long run. For one thing, the Euros have decided on energy policy that means you will pay more to satisfy some sort of earth worship (although it is fake since Germany gets to use coal). Also Europe will push it’s “universal” human rights to supplant your God-granted rights. They might look like the lesser of two evils now, but when the party is over (fueled by borrowing and spending euros) it will not look good at all.

I’m really happy to see you alive and well, Mazepa and I also have a few questions. Who will be a leader of Ukraine after Yanukovitz? Who will be Ukraine’s major trading partners and an export/import structure? What has to be an economic base for a future government? Has Russia to continue it’s financial aid and keep subsidized gas flowing after it’s ‘puppet’ removed? What is your attitude towards NATO and how do you like EU regulations? Are Ukrainian businesses planning to comply or planning to close? Are they planning to keep trade with Russia after rejecting Russian trade deal and their product heavily taxed on Russian market? Is there finally any plan with the protestors or is it just hope and change with EU?
