Sikorski: EU overestimated association attractiveness for Ukraine
KYIV. January 5. KAZINFORM. The European Union overestimated the attractiveness of its offer for Ukraine regarding the association and underestimated Russia’s determination in this context, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski told the TVN BIS television channel in an interview.
"I agree with the assessment that the EU seriously overestimated the attractiveness of its offer and underestimated something that for us [Poles - ed.] is obvious: to what extent Ukraine is a priority for Russia and how much money the Russian government is ready to invest to strengthen relations with it," the Polish minister said.
He also expressed his belief that there are no facts that could prevent the signature of an Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU. "I'm not aware of any proven facts that would make association between Ukraine and the EU impossible," Sikorski said, adding that in the matter "nothing has been yet finally decided".
