The level of trade between Ukraine and the member countries of the Customs Union is much greater than the level of trade with Russia or the European Union.
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych announced this at a meeting with members of the 11th meeting of the heads of Ukraine's foreign diplomatic missions, a UKRINFORM correspondent reported.
"For example, our trade with the European Union and Russia is around USD 60 billion. And if we take, for example, the countries of the Customs Union, the trade is about USD 65 billion," Yanukovych said.
Therefore, the head of state said that Ukraine must pay attention to this and act within its national interests.
