I don't think the EU is interested in a prosperous Ukraine in the near future. As far as I remember from the time around the Maidan protests it was said the big prize in the Ukraine for the west is the farm land and that seems to be going ahead as planned. Once a country is under the control of the IMF it will not get out that quickly.

Ukraine has officially ended a 20-year moratorium on the sale of farmland, hoping to unleash productivity and investment in the agricultural sector.

The land market opened on July 1, more than a year after Ukrainian lawmakers passed a law lifting the ban on sales, as required to receive a loan from the International Monetary Fund.
