Ukraine's Prime Minister Mykola Azarov will not sign any agreements during his visit to Moscow on Tuesday, the Ukrainian government's press service said.

The press service denied earlier news reports claiming that Azarov was going to sign 60 agreements dealing with the Customs Union, formed by Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, in Moscow.

"Such allegations [about 60 agreements linked with the Customs Union] are 100% false. Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov will not sign any agreements today," it said.

During the visit to Moscow, Azarov will meet with his counterparts from member states of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council, it said.

"Ukraine will continue to work to restore normal trade and economic relations with the countries of the Customs Union," the press service said.
