Ukraine's future is "in Europe".


Ukraine on Thursday (6 October) got the clearest signal so far that it is in the queue for enlargement, as well as the promise of an EU visa deal by December.

"Our door remains open. The future of Ukraine is in Europe", European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso said after a meeting with Kiev's new prime minister Yuri Yekhanurov in Brussels.


From here or here.

They were told that they need to work on their ... issues, but that they are on the radar for the future for expansion of the EU. Interesting that on many levels and it'll help Ukrainians in their efforts if they know there is an end goal.
