Yanukovych: Ukraine's participation in Eurasian project should take into account country's commitments within WTO and Association Agreement with EU

1 min read

Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has said that the question of Ukraine's participation in the Eurasian integration project should take into account the country's commitments within the protocol of accession to the WTO and the draft Association Agreement with the European Union.

"By choosing the European direction of development as the main direction, the Ukrainian state is not reducing attention to the Eurasian direction as an important area of national interests. It is no secret that the search by Ukraine for its own vision and approaches to cooperation with the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan does not always find proper support from partners. However, the question of Ukraine's participation in the Eurasian integration project should be resolved taking into account our country's commitments within the protocol of accession to the WTO and the draft Association Agreement with the European Union," reads the president's annual address, which was posted on the Web site of the head of state on Thursday.
