ITMB Ukraine and Moldova Travel Reference Map

Ukraine is a country currently under-going a dramatic change. The country was 'moving' west and had signed an association agreement with the EU when the then-President over-ruled the Parliament and signed an agreement binding Ukraine to Russia. This resulted in massive street protests and the eventual overthrow of the political leadership, who fled to Russia; in essence, a revolution occured, but one to support the elected parliament and insist on rule of law. Russia then interfered grossly in Ukraine, seizing the Crimean Peninsula and destabilizing the easternmost parts of the country. This map has been updated showing the reality of Russian-occupied Crimea as de-facto, while including it with Ukraine de jure. Although it cannot be shown on the map, Ukraine has undergone a revolution of the mind and, as a country, is now looking westwards towards the EU for a brighter tomorrow, rather than northwards towards Russia. A new agreement with the EU has been signed and the country is undergoing some pretty fundamental adjustments. Ukraine remains the most important political reality for the rest of Europe and North America for the immediate future and an extremely significant future partner.
