From what I can read, it's clear that in 2014 there was a pull between (Russian) Eurasian Customs Union and the European Union–Ukraine Association Agreement. Also that there are some real differences between the western (and central) part of the country Ukraine and the East part. The country was then painfully pulled apart across these seams.

It's so incredibly sad and shows a total lack of understanding as all rational and hard logic puts the EU's future chance of prosperity smack in Eurasia. With Ukraine right in Europe's heart.

It's high time we Europeans take our future into our own hands. Set up our own defence force, step out of NATO, kick all the American forces off our continent and create a joint pan-Eurasian Association.

We all want peace and prosperity. Let's end this war and build our European future with (a jointly rebuilt) Ukraine at its centre :) Most EU citizens hate Brussels anyway, so a rebrand will do us all a lot of good:)

Let's ask Mrs Merkel and Mr Putin to sit at the tabel and broker this deal. Somehow I think the time is ripe.
