Kremlin Vows to Retaliate If Three-Party Agreements on Ukraine’s EU …
MOSCOW, September 29 (RIA Novosti) – Russia remains committed to three-party agreements concerning Ukraine’s association with the European Union, but is ready to take measures if any party violates them, a spokesman for the Russian president said Monday.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said Sunday that Kyiv’s EU Association Agreement will come into force in full in November despite an agreement between Moscow, Brussels and Kyiv to postpone full implementation until January 2016.
“Russia is guided by the agreements reached at the three-party talks, but at the same time is ready to defend its position. Russia remains committed to these agreements, but is ready to respond if [a party to the deal acts] in breach of previously reached agreements,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
