Not all the people want EU membership. It's mostly western Ukraine that wants to join. Not so much with the east. Not surprising since many eastern Ukrainians are ethnic Russians. Crimea didn't want membership either. In fact, they overwhelmingly voted to go with Russia. The whole Ukraine mess is the result of an EU power play. Originally Posted by cowboy8055
