Ukrainian President Sets Sights on Closer E.U. Ties
Keywords:
Ukraine president Poroshenko tells a news conference in Kiev in September 2014 - "the doors of the E.U. are open to us; I am absolutely convinced of this. Events in Kiev and Brussels gave us a firm hope, a belief, that we will soon get the prospect of E.U. membership." Poroshenko plans to repeal a 2010 law barring Ukraine from membership in any military or political alliance, so that it can apply to join NATO. Clearly Mr. Putin's remark to EU president Barroso that Russia could reach Kiev in 2 weeks has stiffened resolve all over Eastern Europe from Lithuania to Poland, and changed perception in Germany and France about Mr. Putin. The German response from Merkel was to have "a consistent presence" in the Baltic Republics, so that the consequences of threats in Eastern Europe would be made clear to Mr. Putin. Poroshenko says he is in constant communication with Putin about settlement of the situation in eastern Ukraine, showing the costs recognized by all sides to prolonging the conflict.

The Donetsk People's Republic and the collapse of pro-Russian separatism in eastern Ukraine, July 2014
07/07/2014
Opinion polls show a majority of Donetsk's citizens do not favor separatism, that most of the opposition springs from alienation with poor government from Kiev. The pro-Russian separatist forces are defeated by Ukrainian government forces under the Poroshenko government in Kiev by July 2014, as Russia decides not to intervene. The Russian economy feels the effect of adverse foreign investor sentiment by mid 2014, and the Russian government decides not to take any more risks. After signalling its opinion about EU close to its borders, and the importance of respecting rights of Russian speaking Ukrainians, Russia decides not to intervene further in Ukrainian affairs and Ukrainian choice of going with closer EU relations. The strong response from the EU, Germany and the U.S. also figures in the Russian response.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
