Moscow will soon cease to be one of Ukraine’s major trading partners.

This statement has been made by Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk during the final press-conference on Tuesday, “Ukrainskaya Pravda” informs.

As said by him, Russia had never kept and does not keep any bilateral agreements, including agreements in the economic domain. “Trade turnover with Russia has halved. It’s a stable tendency that has continued for years. In fact, Russia will stop being one of Ukraine’s main trade partners in the near future,” Premier said.

Ukrainian Prime Minister is convinced that the occupied Crimea will be returned.

“There is no quick answer to Crimea geopolitically. That is, there is no quick and simple answer now, how to return Crimea,” he said. “If God helps us, we are going to recover control of Crimea within our lifetime. If not, it will be done by our children or grandchildren.”
