Ukraine and Poland - a common future ?

[Jarema]

Is Poland Ukraine's alternative to Russian dominance ?


Is that our future....

In short let's economics and not politics decide.
Then again it may not be a need to get closer to any but to keep equal distance from both, though regional politics and economic needs sometimes do not go hand in hand nor the desired outcome may please burocrats or extremists alike.

Poland is not any longer a key player in Europe. If Ukraine were to set its hopes with anybody, so with EC.

Two questions (just to straighten things up - if only for me):

Not any longer means it once was. When?
How does EC correspond with EU?

Thank you

Poland do was a key player in Europe since 1500 up to 1648.
It was a largest and most strong state in Europe.
It has stopped Turkey Osman intervention in Europe under Vienna.
The Recz Pospolita included then nearly whole territory of central and eastern Europe, Litva, Rus.
It is a pity, that some rebellions put an end to it.

Chmelnitsky preferred to swore to totalitarian Russia tsaz rather then to obey to democratic laws of the Polish Seim.
It seems me that Chmelnitsky played a role of Lenin of 16th century.
