apc27: People in the East of Ukraine, generally speaking, have jobs. That’s what makes them tolerant of Yanukovitch. If they take the EU deal they will not have jobs, as in the short term the agreement will send them into an economic free fall. That much is obvious. One can argue that moving closer to Europe (NOT being in Europe, both Turkey and Egypt signed these agreements and how close to Europe are they?) is worth the short term pain. And it will be A LOT of pain. But to argue purely in terms: EU Agreement — Good, Russian Agreement — Bad, is at best stupid and at worst a pile of disingenuous propagandizing crap.
