The Ukrainian economy has been seriously shaken; the heavy industry concentrated mostly in the east exports what it produces to Russia, not to the EU, where it will never find fluid markets. Russia was its one market. If you cut the economic links with it, Ukraine will have no prospects. According to her, Ukraine has a real need to reintegrate a common economic space, a space that does not exclude economic cooperation with the EU, without the price of confrontation with Russia. For Sahra Wagenknecht, Kiev would do well to work in both directions. http://fortruss.blogspot.com/2015/03/german-mp-ukraine-good-only-for.html Nowadays in this sircumstances the only hope of Ukraine economy is the resumption of market relations with Russia. I think that even Poroshenko believes it. But it's not the US and IMF plans to reassure the economy of Ukraine and espesially it's relations with Russia.
