Dear Stephen_Bailey!
Britain, France and Germany have been "dropping bombs on each other" for 1,000 years.
That'll never happen again.
Nowadays, we fight only with words.
We also respect EUROPEAN law, even when it conflicts with our national interest.

Just to clear things up...
Were France & Germany eager to form a European Uion just after a WW2? Why not? Were they a little pissed of on each other?

O.K. Let me give you another example...Immagine coming into a U.S. afer a revolutionary war(long time ago) and sayig :" Hey guys, don't you want to have a union with Britain again? just a little one?"
I immagine the reaction!
P.S>
I personally think, that Steve V is right. Ukraine must be doing a lot of business with Russia. But, Probably it will be even better if Ukraine can try to rebuild it's economy by "uniting" more with other countries as well, IMHO.
I know that Ukrainian economy is in a pretty bad shape...what scares western investors? Ukrainian laws?
Thanks to anyone who answers.
