I hate to be a downer, but I think it's only a matter of time until Russia pulls the rope back the other way. They still have too much leverage on Ukraine's economy. In fact, every time Ukraine tries to westernize, Russia pulls something (shut's off their gas, bribes them with bailout money, etc...).
