Ukraine has been the toughest test of Europe's ability to function as a unit in its own interests since the Soviet collapse. In 2013 there was a chance to bind Kyiv into an association agreement with the EU, but Brussels blew it. A desultory loan offer did not come close to the €20bn Ukraine needed to modernise, or to Russia's promise of cheap gas.
