Ukraine may join Customs Union

Almaty. December 4. Kazakhstan Today - Ukraine may join the Customs Union. The President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, informed today at the meeting with the plenipotentiary of the President of Russia in Privolzhsky Federal District, Grigory Rapota, the agency reports citing BELTA agency.

A. Lukashenko said that having signed the contract on creation of the Customs Union, Belarus insisted that creation of the uniform economic space would not be delayed. "We see how Russia limits trade with Belarus - through banks, health officials, and others, but it will be impossible to do in the uniform economic space."

"We could create the uniform economic space in 2010, but, I think, it would be too much work. Therefore, I believe that we will agree that we will create the uniform economic space within one and a half years in Almaty on December 18," A. Lukashenko noted.
