Russia intends to continue to monitor the situation, and we reiterate that, in the case of necessary, we can change the preferences between Russia and Ukraine, in order to minimize problems associated with changes in the trade regime between the EU and Ukraine, without excluding other possible ways of protecting the Russian economy, “- says Uljukaev.
In addition, the Russian Federation required to fix the mandate of the Tripartite group to legalize proposals and amendments to the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU.
