For above reference see here : It remains unclear how much the EU, which has said it will not join a bidding war for Ukraine, is willing to offer. Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov estimates the country would need 160 billion euros ($220 billion) to adapt to the free-trade zone proposed by the European Union. http://news.yahoo.com/spurned-president-eu-embraces-ukraine-protest-080514974--finance.html
