and ukraine is as was said earlier a sovereign decision of both sides and doesn't necessarily mean that a third party needs to be involved in a formal way but what is very very clear here is that ukraine needs to sort out its business ties with russia and that it understands and very very clearly understands that the offer that the us making here is something that is not threatening their ties with anybody else in the world as i said earlier the e.u. has many many association agreements and these partners have never complained about the e.u. basically you know cutting them off from the rest of the planet as it is portrayed here that is just a very simplistic way and of course and i must react to this the e.u. does not know what's best for everybody in the world there are some people in the european parliament who like to proselytize and there are some people here the world are playing their cards as in every political system but by and large the e.u. can only make an offer it doesn't have any course of powers really it is not going to to to threaten people you know before going into suc
