The decision to terminate the program of economic cooperation between Ukraine and Russia will be made on Wednesday, March 21. This is sincerely hoped by Prime Minister Vladimir Groisman, who earlier stated that his government is already preparing a document on the denunciation of the seven-year-old program. "I think that already this Wednesday we will tear up the program that was concluded in 2011, we think it does not meet national interests," Groisman informed radio listeners of the "New Times". Note that this program is designed to 2020 and provides for the development of a free trade regime, mutual protection and investment security. It also stipulates the provision of free movement of citizens of both countries and the creation of an integrated system of payment and settlement operations. In addition, he assured that the economic future of his homeland is not in the East but in the West, that is, Ukraine intends to limit economic ties with Russia. "Today 40% of our exports are exports to EU countries," the prime minister said.. By the way, earlier the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs developed proposals regarding the withdrawal of the Independent from the National Economic Council, as well as the termination of the treaty on friendship, cooperation and partnership with Russia. However, the policy of Groisman is not supported by all politicians. For example, the leader of the public movement "Ukrainian choice - the right of the people" Viktor Medvedchuk believes that the Nezalezhnaya will be able to get out of the economic crisis if they turn to the neighboring Russia.
"Despite the deterioration of relations between Kiev and Moscow, the curtailment of bilateral business projects, the closure of joint ventures, Russian capital continues to support the economy of Ukraine. But, not having restored full-fledged cooperation between the countries, not returning their positions in the markets of the CIS and Russia, Ukraine is unlikely to be able to overcome the crisis in the economy, "Medvedchuk quotes his Facebook press service. The deputy notes that last year an unwanted neighbor invested 21.2% of all investments in the Ukrainian economy. More infusions made only Cyprus? 27%.
