However it's simply not justifiable to deny them the right to be pro-EU for fear of upsetting the Russians. The desire some on here have for the EU to withdraw the trade agreement and make it clear they will not help or respect any desire to move closer to the Western European nations will remove that right.

Instead we have EU countries taking part in unjust conflicts so we can pinch their oil and is that a no we won't stand by and watch the country split in two, so much for democracy or is it democracy when it suits us same as always.
