Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has ordered the government to prepare for the official visit of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

“Hopefully, the Russian president and I will take joint efforts during the visit,” Yanukovich told Ukrainian ministers on Friday.

He ordered Fuel and Energy Minister Yuri Boiko to start gas and electricity negotiations in preparations for a meeting of the Ukraine-Russia Interstate Commission.

Medvedev is expected in Kiev in the first half of this year, Yanukovich said.
