But, given that a free, stable, and prosperous Ukraine is very much in Europe’s strategic interest, the EU’s member governments should also share the burden of financing reform. The funding that Ukraine will need to stabilize its economy over the next four years looks paltry when compared to the more than $300 billion, from different sources, devoted to bailing out Greece – a country where there is far less at stake strategically.
乌克兰人必须觉得调整的痛苦被公平地分担，而这意味着至少该国的寡头最终需要接受法律的约束。但是，由于自由、稳定、繁荣的乌克兰十分符合欧洲的战略利益，因此欧盟成员国政府也应该分担金融改革的负担。乌克兰在未来四年中稳定经济所需要的资金与用于援助希腊（高达3,000亿美元以上，来自不同来源）的资金相比只是九牛一毛，而希腊的战略意义远远及不上乌克兰。
