Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatseniuk has named the priorities for the development of Ukraine and promised to not respond to criticism from political opponents.

"Our aim is a membership of the EU, acquiring of the membership of NATO, welfare of the Ukrainian citizens and a healthy and educated nation," Yatseniuk said on air of the TV program 'Ten Minutes with Prime Minister' on Sunday evening.

According to him, since a place of Ukraine is in the EU and Kyiv has already signed agreements on political association and Free Trade Area (FTA), a visa-free travel is to be granted soon.

One of the foundations for independence of the state is energy independence "which we achieved." "That's why I won't admit shady agreements and returning of energy oligarchs to Ukrainian economics," he said.

Yatseniuk also said Russia as an aggressor-state should face a tough policy.

"No agreements and compromises at the expense of Ukraine; restoration of territorial integrity of Ukraine; returning of Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea; continuation of the Russia sanctions by the moment Ukraine fully revives its territorial sovereignty," the premier said.
