No economic agreements be achieved during Putin's visit to Ukraine, say experts

No economic agreements be achieved during Putin's visit to Ukraine, say experts:

"Ukrainian experts have predicted that no economic agreements will be achieved during the visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Ukraine on July 27-28, on the occasion of the 1,025th anniversary of Christianization of the Kyivan Rus.

According to Director of the Ukrainian Policy Institute Kostiantyn Bondarenko, the visits of foreign guests to Ukraine to participate in these events will be significant, in particular, because they will be held during the year in which Ukraine hopes to sign an Association Agreement with the EU.

"The occasion itself, the 1,025th anniversary of the Christianization of the Kyivan Rus, could be considered as an additional possibility for the presidents of Ukraine and Russia to talk informally about the possibility of suspending the process of signing the Association Agreement," the expert said during a meeting of the club of political scientists in Kyiv on Wednesday."
