    Correct. Yes, I have seen your posts regarding Shell deal. Yanukovych wanted to sign a deal, even though the conditions were not favorable to Ukraine. The main reason for Yanukovych not signing the deal was a huge economic consequence of signing it.

    The signing of a free trade deal with the EU would make it impossible for Ukraine to be a part of a Custom Union with Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. The economic loss to Ukraine would be over $150b if they signed the EU deal. They couldn’t afford to sign the EU deal.
