  1. Most Ukranians generally want to move toward closer ties with EU but many Ukranian citizens are ethnic russians and prefer closer ties (but not an out and out union) with Russia. Especially within the Crimea and cities like Sebastopol. Perks of EU membership for ukranians will be it will be easier for them to look for work in member state countries. Something that highly irritates many people in western europe as it's deemed, rightly or wrongly (it's a whole other complex topic) to keep wages and worker conditions lower. However, a perk for both the Ukraine and EU member states is a large market for it's potentially very rich agricultural produce which may likely help keep food prices low in EU. This is probably why Russia doesn't want to let Ukraine move away from it's sphere. The downside could be higher energy prices as the country (as well as EU increasingly) does depend on Russia fossil fuel quite a lot. Russia could make energy supply more difficult for Ukraine if they move more toward the EU.
