“Of course, I’m not a diplomat, but after Klimkin’s statement about the postponement of the application of the Association Agreement with the EU until 2016, only one thing comes to mind: “In my opinion, dude, we were cheated...”. Moreover, on all fronts, including the eastern one,” Zoryan Shkiryak, adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, wrote on Facebook.
However, the press secretary of President Petro Poroshenko, Irina Friz, assures that we are talking about a necessary pause, during which Ukraine will retain the right to supply its goods to the EU without duties, but Europe will not use such benefits on the Ukrainian market.
“To understand: in conditions of external aggression, budget problems, etc., Ukraine will be able to export goods to Europe without duties but maintain restrictions on imported goods to protect domestic producers. Ratification and implementation of the Agreement will allow us to subsequently enter the EU. But today the rhetoric of political speculators, who, trying to win people’s sympathy through criticism, are trying to turn the situation upside down, is not worth a penny. For them there are no interests of the state, for them there are political technologies that are used for only one thing - to get to power,” Frieze assures.
