Russia Demands More Changes to EU-Ukraine Trade Deal | News | The Moscow Times

Russia Demands More Changes to EU-Ukraine Trade Deal | News | The Moscow Times:



"Russia has demanded changes to a free-trade deal between Ukraine and the European Union, underlining that Moscow was not satisfied by a last-minute concession from the EU to delay implementing the pact at the heart of the conflict in Ukraine.



In a letter to the EU trade commissioner, seen by Reuters on Thursday, Economy Minister Alexei Ulyukayev said Moscow wanted three-way negotiations to amend the EU's treaty with Kiev, which Russia says will hurt its own economy. 




Ulyukayev renewed threats to curb Ukraine's access to vital Russian markets, showing that a concession Brussels made to Russia on Friday — to delay the pact's implementation for 15 months — had failed to ease Moscow's concerns."
