Ukraine to stop being Russia’s strategic partner after signing Association Agreement with EU » Interfax News Wire :: Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Central Asia:
"Ukraine will stop being Russia’s strategic partner and will virtually lose the status of subject of international law following the signing of the Association Agreement with the European Union, Russian presidential aide Sergei Glazyev said.
“Having signed the Association Agreement with the EU, Ukraine deprives itself of the sovereign right on all issues of trade policy we have given to the Customs Union,” Glazyev said in an interview with the Rossiya 24 (Russia 24) TV channel.
“Ukraine will stop being our strategic partner and it will disappear as a subject of international law because it will have to coordinate all its action in the trade sphere with the EU,” Glazyev said. “Ukraine will not be able to make a step towards us if the EU does not allow it to do. We do not understand why Ukraine is giving up its sovereignty voluntarily to Brussels, rejecting cooperation with us on preferential terms,” he said."
