Kyiv can have equal relations with Moscow, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Leonid Kozhara said at an expert forum, "Ukraine 2013. Forecast", in Kyiv on Monday.

“Can Ukraine have relations of equality and mutual respect with
Russia? My answer is absolutely yes. In particular, because Russia has
changed a lot in the past 20 years,” he said.

Ukraine will be insistent in reconciliation of positions with Russia,
Kozhara noted. “We will be insistent on restoring mutual confidence in
the areas where full trust has not been regained so far,” the minister
said.
