UKRAINE - Ukraine - EU Pact: Kiev's gambit with Brussels

It's the same document that Viktor Yanukovich failed to sign back in November, sparking deadly protests that lead to his ouster. But with Crimea annexed, violence in the eastern Donbass region and ongoing pressure from Russia not to apply the agreement, it’s going to be a long road ahead.
