Merkel said on Thursday that "the door was still open" for Kiev, despite the Ukrainian government's rejection of the EU deal to avoid pressure from Russia, which has been seeking to keep the former Soviet state within its sphere of influence.

    KIEV, Ukraine, Nov. 22 -- Ukraine is risking a financial crisis of monumental scale by ditching the EU as it faces a cash crunch before imminent debt repayments, analysts said Friday.Ukraine received warnings from senior EU officials and the United States after it dropped its EU membership bid, European Observer said. U.S. officials cited difficulties Ukraine could face obtaining credit from the International Monetary Fund after it snubbed the EU, EUObserver.com said.

Ukraine needs to make regular repayments on more than $60 billion of external debt. Thousands of protesters in Kiev and other Ukrainian streets Friday pushed the argument Ukraine belongs in the EU, ...

Ukraine and France 2-0 in their World Cup qualifying play-off first leg in Kiev. "We are trying to keep our players away from the past. To know the reasons for those failures, you had to be there," Ukraine coach Mykhaylo Fomenko told reporters.

Ukraine and France will faceoff in one of the most hotly contested playoffs of the 2014 World Cup Qualifiers. The opening draw will take place in Kiev and there are a number of reasons to believe that the Ukrainians can pull off a huge victory against Les Bleues. Here are a few of them. Defense One of these two teams conceded four goals in 10 games; the other allowed six in eight. Guess which is which? Ukraine is actually the team that only conceded four goals in the entire tournament; only Spain (which played two fewer games) conceded less than the Ukrainians in the entire tournament. Consider the fact that this team contended with such nations as Montenegro, Poland and England and the statistic is even more impressive. France had to deal with Spain, but it faced lesser teams that included Belarus, Georgia and Finland; this was hardly a major challenge for Les Bleues. Home Field Advantage The Ukrainians were strong at home with three wins, one draw and one loss...

GDP fell 1.5 percent from a year earlier, worse than the median estimate of 12 economists in a Bloomberg survey for 0.2 percent growth. “The economy is in a protracted stagnation as it moves from one recession to another,” Alexander Valchyshen, head of research at Investment Capital Ukraine in Kiev, said by phone. “The government’s policy to boost economic growth has failed.” Ukraine is struggling amid falling global demand for products such as steel, a widening current-account gap, shrinking foreign reserves and trade restrictions from Russia, its biggest export market.
