Item Description:Over the last few years, the European Union's relationship with Ukraine has been undermined by a split on both sides. On the European side, some wanted a reform-minded, western-leaning Ukraine, either as a good thing in itself, or in order to eventually transform or at least contain Russia. Others, meanwhile, were quite happy to allow Ukraine to stagnate in order to keep the thorny question of enlargement off the table. On the Ukrainian side, some saw their future lying in Europe, while others wanted to move closer to Russia. This double split has left Ukraine adrift. However, the election of Viktor Yanukovych as president in 2010 creates a new situation. The political crisis of recent years may not be over - even after the replacement of his rival, Yuliya Tymoshenko, as prime minister, Yanukovych doesn't yet fully control the government, let alone Ukraine's powerful 'oligarchs' - but his return to power may represent a real opportunity for Europe
