“I’m surprised that Ukraine was still a part of it. “

Imagine you are in a close-knit community where everybody trades and socializes. Then, suddenly you decide you won’t socialize, or, apparently, trade. This is probably not a great move.

Ukraine has been moving closer to Western European countries for awhile now so I guess this is the formal cord cutting.

We will see how well it works out for them.

Nonsense, Russia has an economy the size of Italy. Does Ukraine want to be tied in to trading primarily with Russia or with Europe and the West? That’s why they left CISFTA. CISTA = Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan

It’s not like the EU has a great future — Islam, LGBT, and Marxism, all of which hate free speech, are running amok in that area. Hard to know which one will prevail.
