首先,國界的爭議,就幾乎不可能解決。烏克蘭不是聯邦制國家,除了克里米亞自治共和國擁有清晰的自治範疇、權限,「東烏」、「西烏」都只是約定俗成叫法。雖然西烏克蘭不少領土是在斯大林時代兼併所得,然而若要具體劃界,哪裏是親俄文化圈的「東部」,哪裏是親西方文化圈的「西部」,並沒有完全客觀的中線劃分。 : L( U) T$ M5 o, ~0 C l" X. BTVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。os.tvboxnow.com# y( e( E& f0 X0 o# [

由於俄羅斯極不願意承認「西烏」獨立,「東烏」卻是原來的中央政府,擁有聯合國席位,「西烏」的國際空間會十分有限,就像科索沃那樣。目前持有科索沃護照的人,根本不能進入俄羅斯,去年就有科索沃球員因此不能進入莫斯科踢歐聯。「西烏」畢竟和「東烏」、俄羅斯交往密切,面積和人口亦不能和科索沃相提並論,要是這樣一個中型國家長期處於非正常狀態,對人民心理和國家發展都極為負面。 ( t2 c4 z% ~8 `' j# d4 U公仔箱論壇" y) D" ?1 ?( [# ~
何況「西烏」獨立了,會否變成一個天主教國家?這又是一個危機。「西烏」一直是「烏克蘭希臘天主教會」大本營,這次宣布分治的利沃夫,原來就是其大主教教座所在地。這教會聽命於梵蒂岡的羅馬教廷,和烏克蘭最多人信奉的東正教形成對立,卻在海外烏克蘭僑民當中得到較多支持。問題是東正教在「西烏」依然有一定影響力,一旦「西烏」獨立,宗教問題可能更為突出,連內部和諧和共識也難達成。 0 n7 F( {- J- H! i) j3 T* F.

說了那麼多,是否「西烏」一定獨立無望?不是的。是否應爭取獨立,是「西烏」人自己才能決定的問題,但真的決定爭取,在目前國際格局,只會有上述後果。符合國際遊戲規則的獨立方式,應是先掩飾自己的獨立訴求,找一個面目模糊的中性候選人參選總統,贏了大選,然後以中央身份推動聯邦制,讓「東烏」、「西烏」分別享有克里米亞那樣的自治共和國地位,鞏固了邊界,確立了政治、經濟模式,再不斷修憲,最終和平分手。過程當然依然困難,但起碼是王道。 0 |8 T9 J) y+ W. ]5 VTVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb8 l& R& }: E+ j 作者: felicity2010 時間: 2014-2-23 10:28 AM

STOCKHOLM – How Ukraine’s profound crisis will end is impossible to predict. We in the European Union and the United States are doing what we can to secure a peaceful transition to a more stable democracy, and the implementation, at long last, of urgently needed reforms.

If the agreement is not honored, Ukraine could well continue its descent into chaos and conflict, which would be in no one’s interest. That is why Ukraine’s crisis is a European crisis.

For years, Ukraine sought a closer relationship with the EU. Its leaders warmly endorsed the promise of enhanced ties under the EU’s Eastern Partnership, and pushed for an EU Association Agreement, together with a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area. When those talks,which began under the previous Ukrainian government, were concluded, the agreement was endorsed by all four presidents and all 14 prime ministers to hold office since Ukraine achieved independence in 1991.2 _( _* c3 w.

To achieve that, Ukraine needs a transitional government ofexperts and a new constitution that returns the country to the system thatprevailed until a decade ago, with power divided between Parliament and thepresident.
