“Nobody gave the Ukrainian authorities any mandate to go to the European Union, because most of the country's population is in favor of joining the Customs Union,” Ukrainian politician Leonid Grach told the REGNUM correspondent in an interview with a REGNUM correspondent. Of Ukraine at the European Union, Konstantin Yeliseyev, that Ukraine’s entry into the Customs Union would give Ukraine only short-term dividends."Ambassador Konstantin Yeliseyev is a clerk of the nationalist regime. He does everything that the administration of the president of Ukraine wants, he works against the interests of Russia, to please Europe. In this sense, there is an absolutely clear political tendency that President Viktor Yanukovych fixes. This policy was a disaster for of the Ukrainian people. In the Ukrainian authorities, no one in Ukraine gave any mandate to go to the European Union. All public sentiments, including those studied by nationalist circles, talk about the choice of residents Of the Customs Union of Ukraine. Today Viktor Yanukovych is deaf and blind, if you consider who surrounds him, so today the president is not able to make independent decisions. Despite the fact that Yanukovych is a dictator, he is cowardly. For him, the opinion of his surroundings is more important than the opinion of the people and those real dividends that Ukraine can receive if it joins the Customs Union ", - said Grach.
According to the politician, Ukraine will receive much more political and economic benefits from joining the Customs Union. "In the event of Ukraine’s possible entry into the European Union, it will not receive anything more than a visa-free regime with some European countries. Such Eliseevs are a pack that barks and barks to slay two Slavic peoples - Ukrainian and Russian. If Ukraine joined the Customs union, it would immediately get an economic, political, and hence social result for 45 million Ukrainians. There is no independent Ukraine a long time ago. In Ukraine there are independent economic clans that fight each other, and the people are thrown out n social dustbin That's what today is Ukraine today to go to a new Pereyaslavskaya Rada, we need a new Bogdan Khmelnitsky, who will lead the Ukrainian people to the Customs Union is necessary to remember that Ukraine -... not Europe "- Rook said.
The politician noted that the choice of foreign policy of the Ukrainian authorities can only affect the active position of the population of Ukraine. “The course of Yanukovych, his family and the Party of Regions is on anti-Russian positions. I don’t understand why United Russia cooperates with the Party of Regions? Yanukovych surrendered and betrayed everything that is possible, which means that there’s an obvious aggravation of the Russian -Ukrainian relations. Russia is a great country, it must show wisdom, have patience and not go on provocation, which Yanukovych plays out. Russia needs to find leverage of public sentiment that would put pressure on Bankovaya and urge the authorities to go to the Customs Union ", - under rknul Rook.
Recall Eliseev sure that the entry of Ukraine into the Customs Union will give Ukraine only short-term dividends. “The few billions of dollars that Moscow is talking about is only a payment in exchange for the loss of Ukraine’s sovereignty in the context of implementing its own trade policy and abandoning the course towards integration with the EU,” the diplomat said. He added that Ukraine should seek a compromise between the European and Russian direction, but not "at the price of giving up the European choice." "The association with the EU should be. Just like the European integration of Ukraine. If Russia, as the leader of the Customs Union, is guided not only by its own interests, but also by its partners, then it will give Ukraine the opportunity to combine European integration on the one hand and partnership with the Customs Union on the other "- said the ambassador to the EU.
