Moscow Prepares for Trilateral Consultations on Ukraine's EU Association
Moscow is making ready for ministerial consultations on Ukraine’s EU association and expects a constructive approach from partners, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Friday. "We would like to point out that the Russian side is preparing for trilateral consultations at ministerial level on Ukraine’s association with the EU in July. We expect our partners to demonstrate a responsible and constructive approach that will help alleviate Russia’s quite real and not imaginary, concerns," the Ministry said in a statement published on the official website.
Ukraine, Georgia and Moldavia signed the economic section of European Union Association Agreements this Friday. Russia has on numerous previous occasions expressed concerns about this, worrying that it might cause an uncontrolled influx of goods and warning that the country would be forced to protect its markets.
