Abstract
Whilst divergent positions on the Russian policy dossier have generally not played in favour of cooperation within the EU, from the coming into force of the Lisbon Treaty (2009) until the immediate aftermath of the Vilnius Summit in November 2013, EU member states and institutions largely agreed that Ukraine was a “European country” and that economic integration should have been the main EU policy to be used towards it. Yet, the Maidan events and the annexation of Crimea disrupted the alignment of preferences and the ideational convergence on the strategies to adopt towards Ukraine. Because of such a disruption, the national governments reunited in the European Council exerted all their control on the High Representative, on the Foreign Affairs Council and on the Commission.
