Euromaidan -- totally worth it
Good news. Three years and a half after Ukraine tore itself apart to please the EU the latter has finally thrown a bone its way. Ukrainians may now travel to EU visa-free.
As long as they own a biometric passport and won’t stay longer than 90 days. In other words, as long as they’re traveling as tourists wanting to spend money in the EU, rather than as workers trying to earn it.
Maidan civil war? Totally worth it!
Radio Free Europe:
European Union member states endorsed visa liberalization for Ukraine on May 11, clearing the final hurdle for Ukrainian citizens to travel to the EU’s Schengen Area without a visa.
Representatives of the European Council and the European Parliament are now expected to rubber-stamp the decision in Strasbourg on May 17, with the visa-free regime due to enter into force on June 11.
The decision will apply to all Ukrainian citizens who have biometric passports. They will be able to enter all EU member states apart from Ireland and the United Kingdom for up to 90 days during any 180-day period.
It also applies to the four Schengen-area countries that are not in the EU: Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland.

Commentary: Whatever happened to the “European Dream” that the Ukrops were so eager about? Whatever happened to their “European Choice” for which they jumped like monkeys and accused anyone not jumping of being a “Moskal?” I hope the Ukrops realize that shelling civilians villages, drawing Swastika tattoos all over the body, selling tomatoes at the Polish border, and tossing Molotov cocktails will neither endear them to Europe, not bring them any prosperity. It is time to realize what a self serving vermin Frau Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkelovskaya is.
No, not bad at all - for the EU that is. Rich Ukrainian oligarchs will go to Europe and spend money there. Ordinary Ukrainians will benefit nothing from it.Is that bad?

You can't afford it. You are neck deep in debt and technically already bankrupt, save for the violation of IMF rules by the Western backers which gave you a lifeline.Not patriotic? Someone travels to Ukraine, someone to Europe. Freedom! I do not go abroad. I do not see the point.
The point is, if a vacation in the winter in Egypt.
