Carnegie Russia: Ukraine between East and West
While analysts are trying to predict whether Ukraine will go East or West, the country is standing still. The Ukrainians do not really want to choose. They sit comfortably in between, and as long as they have their piece of land and more or less friendly relations with their neighbors, they will not move a finger as in the old times. Opinion polls do not help much either—there is an almost equal percentage of people who support the alignment with the EU and with Moscow. Different cultures, languages, and religions—all of that can comfortably coexist in modern Ukraine.
