      The EU agreement included higher investments than the Russian one (aka: EU outbid Russia)… that’s why, when Yanukovych (expectedly, as a Russian puppet) switched to the Russian one, the ordinary Ukrainians got… well, kind of pretty pissed.

      Russia didn’t outbid the EU, they puppeteered Ukraine away from the EU agreement, precisely because they could not outbid it.

      The rest worked as expected.
