Reasons for Yanukovych not to sign the EU agreement[edit]
I would like to suggest the following sentence to the section right after the following sentence: "Both Yanukovych and high level EU officials signalled that they wanted to sign the Association Agreement at a later date."
Yanukovych explained later to his own entourage the decision as the result of an exchange with Putin, who had allegedly threatened to occupy Crimea and a good part of southeastern Ukraine, including the Donbas, if he signed the EU agreement.[1]
