The European Union has been trying to get Ukraine assimilated into the EU for decades.
The deal is STILL resisted by Ukraine.
Even with a hand-picked Western puppet government in Kiev.
If joining the EU WAS ATTRACTIVE, Ukraine would have signed up long ago.
Joining the EU means give up your national sovereignty, submit to EU law, currency control, economic plans, etc.
And in return, you get national debt, forced austerity.
It’s not difficult to see why the EU deal, even as corrupt European and American elite leadership pushes and pushes every way they can, is still rejected.
Ukrainian politicians, even if they’re bribed, pressured, etc., know that they would be selling out the citizens of the Ukraine if they cede Ukraine to the EU.
These type of posts don’t get much positive response on FR because most FReepers are on the side of NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY.
Ukrainians only have to look to Greece to see what their future in the EU will be like.
