Former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich’s decision not to sign an Association Agreement with the European Union started protests that ultimately led to his removal from office and the destabilization of Ukraine. Several other Eastern European countries have signed association agreements or have initiated negotiations to join the EU. How will the EU and its member states engage with their eastern neighbors during this crisis and amid the myriad challenges that the EU faces in general?
