Ukraina valde Ryssland före EU - stora protester som följd, länkar i inlägg2

I lived in Poland during the late 90’s and many of the same arguments were hurled against it then that are being applied to Ukraine now. Poland was thought of as too corrupt and incapable of reform.” It had too many problems, lacked western values and on and on.

Yet those who made those arguments have now been unmasked for the fools that they were. Poland is now a leading member of the EU, with the union’s 6th largest economy. In fact, as the only EU country not to fall into recession during the financial crises, it now plays a crucial role as an engine of growth. It’s a tremendous asset.

Could Ukraine do the same? I think recent history clearly shows that it can. In the early 2000’s, the country was an economic juggernaut, one of the fastest growing economies in the world. It has a highly capable workforce, Elance ranks it third in the world for high skilled outsourcing. Ukraine has an enormous amount to offer.
