Why has the Ukrainian economy been more resilient than anyone could have expected and how could the world help it to exist? How does Ukraine overcome history? What losses can the world have if sanctions aren’t introduced simultaneously in all countries? What are the consequences if Crimea and other parts of Ukraine will not remain under its control?
