ASTRAKHAN, Russia - Moscow deems the European Union Council's decision to put off the implementation of the free trade agreement with Ukraine until the end of 2015, sufficient for lifting its concerns, but would like Kyiv to adopt a similar document, said Russian Economic Development Minister Alexei Ulyukayev.

“The European Commission has issued such a document. Legally, it is sufficient. But politically, it would be important for Russia if Ukraine issued a similar document. At least, we are expecting our Ukrainian colleagues to make such a decision,” he said in answer to a question from Interfax.
