The CAP is really only applied to Western Europe, hugely unfair, really - at the moment. It was a condition the Eastern European countries had to agree to, to join the EU, and they did, even if that meant they lost out on one of the biggest advantages there is, to EU membership.

If you look at a country like Romania, EU hasn't really helped them at all, and they've been quite blatantly discriminated against as a nation in the EU. It's quite upsetting. The same thing would happen with Ukraine. And mind you, this is AT LEAST 15 years in the future, even if everything goes exactly to plan.

I don't see what the attraction of the EU would be, from a Ukrainian perspective, if they are being realistic about it.

To meet EU standards Ukrainian economy needs at least 70 billion of investment besides the debt of about the same amount. If you withdraw 150 billion euro from EU economy what's gonna happen to it?
