How does the trajectory of the EU's trade relationships with Ukraine and Georgia differ, and what explains these differing outcomes?

This economic integration reflects Ukraine's strategic shift towards Europe following the Revolution of Dignity, contrasting with Georgia's experience where a more cautious approach toward Euro-Atlantic integration led to a decreased share of EU trade and an increased reliance on Russia. The EU's share of Georgia's trade fell from 32% in 2014 to approximately 25% in 2024, while Russia's share rose from 9% to 16%.
