Well given that only 40% of people voted for trade agreement with the EU, I don't think the above is necessarily true. In many ways it makes sense that the Ukraine continues to have stronger ties once again with Russia, as the Russian economy has been strong for a number of years now (one of the best in Europe) whereas Ukraine's has been really bad and of course there are huge cultural ties between the two countries, but then of course there has been a lot of animosity between the two countries as well. It's kind of like England and Scotland but on a much larger scale!
