Abstract

The text adresses the economic evolution and recent policy of independent Ukraine. The main argument is that the Ukranian crisis has its origins long before the country's diplomacy refusal to sign an association agreement with the European Union and wave in favor of rapprochement with Russia. One of it's sources is external, the competition for influence among foreign powers. The other, little discussed, refers to the evolution and to the specificities of the Ukranian economy, which in addition to undergoing systemic transformation process to capitalism, suffered a decline since 1991 and a regional divergence.
