Western nations scramble to contain fallout of Ukraine crisis


Ukraine has been for a long time a proclaimed democracy aiming to integrate into European Union structures.  European Union in the other hand, because of highly bureaucratic procedures has been prolonging the road of Ukraine toward European Union in the time when other countries with more or less the same standard like Romania or Bulgaria were allowed to join and become full members of this organization.

This article shows how European Union now is considering all the possible methods to “revive” the democracy in Ukraine, or to protect it from losing its democratic means.
Russia has also been very much involved in the situation and just recently called off their ambassador to Ukraine to discuss the situation and come out with a position.  The former President Yanukovych who was mainly supported by Russian speaking Ukrainians had to leave the position because of the new revolution.  A lot of remorse has been coming around regarding a possible split of Ukraine, with the news titling their article “Ukraine going toward split”, this doesn’t seem as a possible solution to both parties in Ukraine. The convention of Russian speakers in Ukraine had come out denying a possible hand of Russian authorities in their position and also stating that they don’t intend to separate.

The actual situation in Ukraine is generally described as chaotic and soon delegations from European Union will start going there to further evaluate the situation and find a possible solution. So typical for European Union, they only start regretting what they did after people get killed.
