“In the 2000s, several successive Ukrainian governments sought closer ties with the European Union (EU). One of the keys to achieving this goal was an association agreement with the EU that would have provided Ukraine with monetary assistance in return for reforms.”

President Kuchma was pro-Russian. He was president from 99-2005.

President Yushchenko was pro-EU and served from 2005 - 2010, but got only 5% of the vote in the 2010 election.

President Yanukovych was pro-Russia and was elected by a large majority in 2010, but was run out in a coup in 2014.

Who were these “successive Ukranian government in the 2000s” that sought closer ties with the EU?

If the author lies about basic, irrefutable history in the article, what else is he lying about?
