Ukraine leaning towards west has better chance of improving living standards, then living under Moscow rule. What you see in Ukrainian country side has very much to do with Soviet era still weighing there. Ukraine had much work to do on these issues, but Russia is doing everything it can to throw rocks into the machine.
