The Euromaidan movement is one of the most prominent developments to have captured the attention of the world in the last few months. This article aims to draw a line under the recent developments in Ukraine. It will first assess the development, as well as the impact, of the movement on Ukraine. Then it moves on to discuss the role of the Russian Federation and the EU in mitigating the domestic crisis. The article concludes with the idea that, as the Ukrainian people have fought for their right to live in a democratic system inspired by European values, the EU should continue to support Ukraine in its democratic and European aspirations. This support should not only be in the form of financial packages, but also shown by accelerating the visa liberalisation dialogue, which would grant Ukrainians access to what they have fought for–-a united Europe.
