In 2013, the EU accounted for 45 percent of Russia’s exports, two-thirds of which were natural gas and oil, according to World Trade Organization statistics. Last year, Russia imported $344 billion worth of products from Europe, with machinery ($53 billion) and vehicles ($38 billion) among the biggest import items.

Ukraine last year sold about $15.75 billion worth of products to Russia – its largest market – with iron and steel and cereals its principal export items. Russia is also major source of Ukraine’s imports, accounting for $25.6 billion of Ukraine purchases, or just under a third of the country’s $77 billion total; the EU accounted for just slightly less.
By comparison, U.S. trade with Ukraine is negligible, just $2.9 billion in both directions last year.

A decade ago Americans were importing nice Ukrainian brides. As a rule, one had full use of them until they got their citizenship papers.

Now, in this ObamaNation, it is the other way around.

DeleteAs a corollary, this is the only aspect of federal recognition of gay marriage I can support. If I could import a nice handsome Ukranian man and help him get citizenship in the US...
Oh, wait- why would ANYONE want to bring another human under the control of the US Empire.
I withdraw my support.
It is nor always bad if they trade with each others.
