Brookings Institution: Is Yanukovych losing Europe and the Ukrainian public?
Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovych hopes to sign an association agreement with the European Union at the EU’s Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius on November 28-29. The association agreement is a big deal: it lays out a roadmap for Ukraine to draw closer to the European Union. It also includes a deep and comprehensive free trade agreement that will allow Ukrainian exporters much greater access to the European market, its $16 trillion annual economy and its 500+ million consumers.
