Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said he was satisfied to see Ukraine's desire to make and implement decisions.
"Russia has worked well because it has finally got a full Ukrainian partner," Medvedev told journalists after a meeting of the Russian-Ukrainian Intergovernmental Commission in Kyiv on Monday.
Ukraine has a new government capable of "making decisions and acting upon them," he said. "It is very important in intergovernmental relations to have a partner, who is responsible for his words, who is guided not by passing political interests, a political conjuncture, which is certainly present in every country, but by strategic interests to develop its country, to develop its nation," Medvedev said.
"And this is the kind of a partner that Russia has in the Ukrainian president and those who today make up his team and are part of the government and the presidential administration," the president said.
