If you goes around Russia along the Ukraine boarder, you'll found many villages that speak Ukraine language. Ukraine and Russia are blood brothers and actually one single country. We hope with the agreement that benefit both counties, will lead to further integration. Look at Europe, they have to form union because economy and political strength can be enhanced in unity.

Well, this is amusing. Russia today states there were "hundreds of protesters", whereas Western and Ukrainian media, specifically the Ukrainian National News Agency, state there were thousands (5,000 according to UNION, 10,000 according to the opposition party, "several thousand" according to some western sources). Of course, nobody knows the exact figure, but clearly there is bias involved in the estimates made by some of the different sources. At any rate, it is clearly in the economic interests of Ukraine to foster good relations with Russia and make deals like this. However, a substantial faction in Ukraine, one which was repudiated in the last election, seems to have a crazed and enduring resentment towards Russia over various crimes committed by Moscow purposely and accidentally/incidentally during the Soviet era and even by Russia before then. My gut is that Ukraine should have good relations with Russia but should be careful to distinguish itself as its peer and partner, and perhaps even ally, but not its servant. At the end of the day however, it is up to Ukraine to decide it own orientation, and that is the most sacred principle in action here.
