Author is a Ukrainian PhD. Far more education than me yet still can’t understand why Ukraine is not in the EU, 30 years after leaving the soviet union.

Have you heard of the promises that were made when Ukraine gave up their nukes in 1991? No you probably haven't, the USA, GB and Russia promised to protect Ukraine...

EDIT: Also the EU is not the US, UK or Russia.
Oh no 2 years off.
