Trump Shifts Stance: Emphasizes Importance of Ukraine's Survival Amid Aid Package Debate
In a notable shift of tone, former President Donald Trump acknowledged the significance of Ukraine's survival to the United States
The Russian government asked Ukraine to consider delaying signing an Association Agreement with the EU to conduct further talks, said Ukrainan PM Mykola Azarov.
This statement was interpreted by some western media as implying that Azarov has admitted of a Russian influence over his government's decision.
After the move to freeze the Association Agreement signing, scheduled for this week, EU and Russia have exchanged accusations that the other side has exerted "pressure" over Ukraine.
Tens of thousands of Ukrainians assembled in pro-EU rallies, fearing that the decision will move their country away from Europe and ever closer to Russia.
According to Azarov, who spoke to foreign journalists Tuesday, Russia had offered to hold trilateral talks on the issue, without giving "any ultimatums," reports the BBC.
The Ukrainian PM said that Russia's message was: "Delay the signing of the agreement, we will sit at the table, come to an agreement on something."
Ukraine has also expressed the desire for trilateral talks with the EU and Russia, hoping they will start as early as December.
The country's government has stated it fears that liberalization of trade with the EU and unattractive loan terms proposed by the IMF could gravely harm the country's economy, as thing currently stand.
