Ukraine and the European Union have already resumed talks on signing the Association Agreement, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Leonid Kozhara has said.

“We have resumed these talks. A technical mission has already been to
Brussels, a preliminary range of issues to be discussed has already
been determined. And now a visit at a higher political level – that by
First Deputy Prime Minister Serhiy Arbuzov will take place,” he said on
Thursday in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine, when asked
when it was planned to renew the negotiations.

He also expressed his confidence that Ukraine should continue to draw
closer to the European Union, as defined by the country’s laws.

“In my opinion, a country that does not participate in the
integration processes loses in the competition on the world markets. We
must continue the course of European integration, and this is the
official policy of the government – it is a requirement of the law,” the
foreign minister said.
