The Telegraph: Why Russia wants Ukraine to join the EU
Russia reiterated its demands regarding Ukraine after US talks, insisting on no NATO membership and no foreign troops in the country.

As Ukraine's potential EU membership could create internal tensions within the bloc, particularly concerning agricultural competition, it also presents an opportunity for Russia to re-establish trade ties through annexed regions. Analysts suggest that Ukraine could serve as a conduit for Russia to access European markets post-conflict.
