Russian–Ukrainian crisis: what next for the Eastern Partnership?

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to outline the consequences of the current Russian–Ukrainian crisis for the future of the Eastern Partnership as a policy framework for the EU and its relations with its six eastern neighbors. Specifically, this article focuses on the consequences the current crisis might have on EU policy towards Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine, the only partner countries that have the capacity to engage with the EU in implementing an Association Agreement with a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area component (AA/DCFTA). The AA/DCFTA represents the core of what the Eastern Partnership has to offer since implementation means the partner country becomes economically integrated into the EU single market.
