British weekly : fiasco in Ukraine marked the end of dreams of empire EU LONDON, March 23, 2014 . The situation in Ukraine marked the end of the European Union dreams of empire , becoming the most healthful fiasco during the 60 years of the European project. Such an assessment of its columnist Christopher Booker has published today the London weekly Sunday Telegraph. For years, this EU lured Ukraine Association Agreement as a step towards full membership - the newspaper writes . - However , left corner its soft power directly to the Russian border , this strange organization focused on the destruction of national identity, finally encountered rock of national interest , which is not going to concede . And to what miserable state it had brought our own supposed leaders in the West . They do not understand what to do. They talk nonsense about isolated Russia and those hopeless , small targeted sanctions. Chancellor Angela Merkel uncontrollably says that eight (G8), which currently holds the presidency of the Russian Federation , no longer exists . French President Francois Hollande calls on the UK to take action against all those Russian oligarchs who have invested 27 billion pounds in London when Britain knows that her 46 billion pounds investment in Russia . EU leaders can hardly afford to be too aggressive when it imports 30% of its natural gas from Russia, - stated in the material . - So Ukrainians find themselves caught between a rock and a place that is too soft to help them. At March 21 when they are acting Prime Minister Yatsenyuk came to Brussels to sign the Association Agreement , the EU was in such distress that the ceremony had to be carried on behind closed doors , not on the eyes of the media . The poor fellow was not even given a microphone, he had to shout his wish yet to see Ukraine as a member of the EU, - the article says the British edition . With Ukraine fantasy ( Europeans ) on the ever-expanding empire ( EU ) has malfunctioned - the author insists . However, there is no indication - as sums Sunday Telegraph, - that these powerless nobodies pretending to be our leaders already understand that their ambition to seize Ukraine should now be in the same category with the ( crisis ) Euro as two examples of how their collective act fancy strikes , finally , on the brick wall of reality .
