Either side doesn't much care for what the other side. Russia also doesn't care much for EU is doing. In a way it is a fork in the road that leads to the Ukraine into one form or another of relinquishing some of its sovereignty. The EU is inviting it to join, but maybe somewhere down the road or it would be subject to EU laws that perhaps were unforeseen at the time. Or if Russia prevails the Ukraine will someday be assumed (along with Belarus) into a single Russian (federation) and inevitably loosing its national identity.
