The promise of Western integration is one reason that conflict seems impossible, for it is a question of geography as much as shared values and culture. Ukraine belongs to a united European political entity; the values that Ukraine endorses and that are embedded in its history are European to the core.
融入西方的许诺是使得冲突看似不可能的一个原因，因为这不仅是一个地理上的问题，也是共同价值观和文化的问题。乌克兰属于联合的欧洲政治实体；乌克兰所信奉的以及在其历史中植根的价值观本质上是欧洲式的。捷克的经验表明，实施欧盟所有的法令条例以便做好准备入盟需要时日。但是在原则上来讲，乌克兰也同样可以成功。
