Ukraine should come to a decision for itself whether it is ready to move towards the European Union and share its underlying values. This idea was announced by the EU High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy (1999-2009), former NATO Secretary General Javier Solana.
Ukraine should work in a fully-fledged manner with partners both from Europe and from the Customs Union’s countries, however, the integration with CU is objectively more beneficial for Ukraine said Kairat Kelimbetov, the Vice Prime Minister of Kazakhstan, at the session “Ukraine, East, West?” in the framework of the 9th Annual Yalta Meeting of YES.
It is very important for Ukraine to define what interstate associations it supposes to integrate into. Otherwise, sooner or later it may find itself in international isolation. This idea was suggested at the session “Ukraine, East, West?” at the 9th Annual Yalta Meeting of YES by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Sweden Carl Bildt.
