Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has said that European integration aspirations of Ukraine are a determining factor for the country's development.

"In the light of sustainable development we also view European integration aspirations of Ukraine, which are determining vector for the country's development. Ukraine makes its contribution to the project of the Greater Europe that unites interests and development goals of the countries from the West to the East of our continent," he said at the general debate of the 68th session of the UN General Assembly in New York.

"I strongly believe that signing in the coming November of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU, including the creation of a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area, will become an important tool in raising the welfare of Ukrainian citizens and will duly assist our country in achieving Millennium Development Goals," Yanukovych added.
