Actually so does Ukraine at least the eastern part(if you'll remember recent events). As for Eastern Europe there are a lot of states that have joined the EU from that part of the world so they would be west. The one's that haven't, major exception being Belarus as was stated, usually have a culture that is most similar to western Europeans but an economy that is below par, the one thing I can say is that they definitely wouldn't be east, at least the way you have defined your map, they have no relation to most of the eastern countries. Let’s make it clearer countries in Eastern Europe are: Albania, Moldova, Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Croatia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Lithuania and Latvia.
