Russia's ex-President Dmitry Medvedev (R), Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev (C) and Belarus' President Alexander Lukashenko attend a summit of the Customs Union among Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus in Moscow's Kremlin, on Dec. 9, 2010. The Kremlin has so far unsuccessfully tried to persuade Ukraine to join, but now there are signs that President Viktor Yanukovych may soon make an overture to now-Russia President Vladimir Putin later this month in Moscow.
