STOCKHOLM – As the European Union’s leaders gather in Riga for a summit with the six members of the EU’s “Eastern Partnership,” many recall the dramatic meeting in Vilnius of November 2013. It was there that Ukraine’s then-president, Viktor Yanukovych, under heavy Russian pressure, refused to sign the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement that had been negotiated from 2007 to 2012.
斯托克霍姆—欧盟领导人在里加与欧盟的六个“东方合作伙伴”（Eastern Partnership）成员举行峰会，这让很多人想起了引人注目的2013年11月维尔纽斯会议。在维尔纽斯会议上，时任乌克兰总统亚努科维奇经不起俄罗斯的强大压力，拒绝签署欧盟-乌克兰结盟协议（EU-Ukraine Association Agreement）。该协议的谈判从2007年一直持续到2012年。
