I'm all for Ukrainian people living better (because i am Ukrainian), they're tired of corruption, but joining EU is not the answer at all.

It was the same with Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary when they lost russian market. It took time to recover and switch economy to more competitive but it was worth it and they export lots of products to other EU countries. It is just the way to improve not a goal by itself.
