Ukraine wants to join the EU, but there are many things that prevent it. There are several social and economic changes that must take place first, and VYanukovich is determined to pursue membership.
The biggest problem is that the EU has not invited Ukraine to join, and has said that it will not consider inviting Ukraine until Ukraine joins the World Trade Organization.
So... all you can do is wait.

if we stop listening to our own outdated irrelevant anti-nazi propgaganda for a moment, we should see Russian history repeating again. WW1 started when Austria & others begged Germany to support them against the rapidly rising Russian military, expanding in Serbia and elsewhere. Back then, Britian, France, etc. viewed Germany as a rising unwanted competition in colonial imperialism, and backed Russa, to subdue Germany, WW1 Germany clearly viewed a pre-emptive war on Russia as necessary and essential to survival, knowing Austria - Germany could never win the arms race against Russia along with France and Britain. Again, prior to WW2 soviet russia was rapidly industrializing a militarized police state at a growth rates never before seen, with fanatic marxist goals of world domination starting with crushing imperialist europe. WW2 began when both Russia and Germany attacked, invaded, occupied, divided Poland, next Germany went on to invade Norway as Russia took Finland. Russia began WW2 as an Axis power, and only switched sides after betrayed by Hitler, who felt the USSR was a greater threat than England. Once again, today we have Russia militarizing, posturing for invasion, occupation and conquest, as has been the history of Europe for a thousand years. Certainly it is foolish for Germany, again, alone, to attempt an arms race against Russia. However with NATO support, a EU alliance can dominate Russia into the foreseable future, and should not tolerate the attack upon Ukraine, and annexation of oil rich Crimea. A Ukraine - EU - NATO alliance is more than justified after the Russian invasion, and a wise strategic pre-emptive move to curb rising militarism and imperialism from Russia against europe. the vast oil wealth under crimea waters sweetens the deal, if Ukraine offers the correct incentives, including contracts to offshore oil tracts that will otherwise be lost to Russia. the current unrest in Ukraine was engineered by Russia no different than the fake famines in 1930's that killed Ukrainians by the tens of millions. can you imagine the outrage today if Germans rose up to attack, kill, and persecute Jews just as they had done in the 1930's and 1940's? why then, is there no outrage today when Russia now rises up, again, to attack, kill and persecute Ukrainians,as they did by the tens of millions in the 1930's to 1950's? The fact that Ukrainians have less influence on western TV and Hollywood propaganda machine should not be the sole determinant of actions by EU & US today.

I think it's going to be a while yet unfortunately but it should happen eventually as long as it stays leaning towards western Europe and doesn't fall back under the influence of Russia.
Haven't the visa regulations relaxed slightly? I went to Ukraine from U.K. in the summer and didn't need a visa. Doesn't it work the other way round as well. If not, that's bad. It should.
By the way, love your country. Kiev is so pretty.
