Dimitry Kochenov on long-term implication Association Agreements signed by EU an three Eastern European countries

The key factor entering the picture is Russia's disruptive position, which is nevertheless not a civilizational choice: Russia can offer no future and has neither an ideology nor track record to match the West.
