President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko declares that Ukraine is legally ready to terminate the treaty on friendship, cooperation and partnership with Russia, concluded in 1997, and expects the relevant documents from the Foreign Ministry.

"Today we have approached sufficiently prepared and legally protected to the next step: the termination of the treaty on friendship, cooperation and partnership between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, which through Moscow's fault has long become an anachronism," Poroshenko said at a meeting with heads of foreign diplomatic institutions of Ukraine in Kyiv on Tuesday.

"Already in the near future, I expect the necessary documents from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to begin the implementation of this process," the president said.
