And when Putin's friend was kicked out, he went angry. The biggest mistake the ex-government of Ukraine did was when they started to use violence against the protesters. Hopefully Russians calm down and more importantly, none of the western countries do anything. It could become very large conflict if they did.

Since their independence the same could be said for the Ukraine.

Edit. And Ukraine won't be joining. EU has too many problems even without yet another country that's in a need of curing so they will not take any more countries that are so unstable.

This I agree with, there are too many countries in the EU at the moment that really shouldn't be in it due to being too unstable and even more importantly they have no real idea of the concept of democracy either.
