乌克兰自1991年独立以来对俄罗斯的政策一直面临困境：如何在严重依赖俄罗斯的经济背景下保持其国家地位，而俄罗斯的意图是乌克兰参与俄罗斯主导的一体化项目。在本文中，我们认为，只有了解乌克兰与俄罗斯立场的复杂性和表面上的矛盾，才能充分理解乌克兰对俄罗斯一体化项目的承诺。本文系统地考察了乌克兰对俄罗斯倡议的回应，并阐明了乌克兰精英在获取经济利益的同时将承诺降至最低的战略。
Ukraine’s policy towards Russia since independence in 1991 has been characterised by a predicament: how to preserve its statehood in the context of its heavy economic dependence on Russia, which was intent on Ukraine’s participation in Russian-led integration projects. In this essay we argue that only by understanding the complexities and seeming contradictions in Ukraine’s positioningvis-à-visRussia can a full understanding of Ukraine’s commitment to Russia’s integration projects be attained. This essay systematically examines Ukraine’s responses to Russia’s initiatives and illuminates the strategy of the Ukrainian elites to extract economic benefits while minimising commitments.
