Past not so long ago the summit of "Eastern partnership" in Riga demonstrated how cynical approach of the European Union holds in relation to Ukraine and other countries of Eastern Europe, says columnist Leonid bershidskiy. From his point of view, the results of the summit can make the following conclusion: the EU has little to offer six ex-Soviet republics in the East. The EU gave no specific promises about the date of possible entry of its partners in the Union, or at least about date of introduction of a visa-free regime for these States. The bershidskiy stressed that Ukraine and Georgia would have expected more. For example, the Ukrainian head Petro Poroshenko has said in March that he hoped to provide his country with a visa-free regime on the Riga summit." However, the EU has had little reason to pay attention to the problems of Ukraine and Georgia, or to expend too much energy on " Eastern partnership ", - complains the analyst. The bershidskiy negative attitude to Russia's role in the situation around Ukraine and believes that the rapprochement With Moscow - "nightmare version" for Kiev." Ukraine has nowhere to go except to the West, " he commented. According to him, Poroshenko will have to accept the pace of integration that Europe will adopt. If he chose a course of rapprochement With Russia, it would have met with the fate of the ousted Viktor Yanukovych, says the analyst. But, in the opinion of the analyst, the current behavior of the Russian capital enables the EU to strengthen its participation in resolving issues of Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova. "instead of having to calm them down and make it clear that the EU wishes to see their members of the Union (actually not) at some point in the future, Federal Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel and the head of the French Republic Francois Hollande has spent most of his time there, without much success, trying to convince the Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras that his country ought better to consider the interests of creditors ", - sums up the bershidskiy.
