lpv:translated text	"I remember the sense of hope that came with the Orange Revolution, and the break with the Soviet-influenced past that it brought about for the Ukrainian people. I remember the promises of success, progress, democracy and cooperation that were made at that time to the Ukrainians, both within the country and from abroad. At the time, the European Union seemed the likely destination for a people who were clearly turning towards the West. Now that the euphoria is gone, today it seems clear that the protagonists of the Orange Revolution were not up to the challenge. The disillusionment of the people with the way in which the country is being run is also plain to see. The election of the candidate beaten by Mr Yushchenko in December 2004 shows either a major split within the country, or a shift in popular feeling, with people now more favourable to the Russian influence. I believe it is important that the European Union should maintain its ability to be seen as attractive to the Ukraine, and that it should use the various means at its disposal to do so. I hope that the Ukraine will persist and persevere with internal democratisation, and that, in terms of its past and its history, it will move towards convergence with the EU, a process that will end in its accession as a full member of the EU."@en1
