Well-wisher Posted December 19, 2005 Report Posted December 19, 2005 Well, it is true sometimes Europeans are able to dip into the future. While hunger for gas and oil threatened to Ukraine as recently as yesterday some European politicians put forward demands concerning the ban on Ukrainian migration in EU countries. Now it is clear for everyone Ukraine's economy is heading for full collapse that leads to heavy social crisis which Europe hasn't seen since times of USSR's dissolution. And all this happens as soon as Russian (together with Turkmenian) gas stops to deliver to Ukraine. According to last reports such perspectives become more and more real now. That is why many Ukrainians hurry to apply for European, Canadian or American visas. But if Europe agrees to settle the question for the benefit of Ukrainian migrants, it will add Ukrainian problem to the Muslim one that may be tantamount to EU suicidal death. But after all, such severe pragmatism is not in good keeping with democratic phraseology. In the end Yuschenko has brought relations with Moscow to a crisis just because of his redirecting to the West. So would it be better for Europe to explain Yuschenko that his tough pricing policy in this sphere will not have any support in the West because Europe needs Russian oil and gas no less than Ukraine?
