26.08.2011 10:04 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
This is what Ukraine’s Ambassador to Russia Volodymyr Yelchenko told the journalists in Moscow.
The diplomat also noted that the Ukrainian side is now engaged in «hard work» to convince the Russian Federation and other members of the Customs Union that the 3 +1 formula of cooperation, proposed by Ukraine, is most suitable at this stage for the interests of Ukraine and Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan. According to Mr. Yelchenko, involvement of non-involvement of Ukraine in these integration formats will depend on how they comply with national interests. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said that Russia is not ready to offer Ukraine special conditions of membership in the Customs Union. In particular, he noted that Russia insists on the full membership of Ukraine in the Customs Union and could not accept the 3+1 format.
