Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin said that Ukraine has a
sovereign right to sign an Association Agreement with European Union, but
this step will have serious consequences.
"Definitely, the signing of such significant document is a sovereign right of every state," he told Interfax.
"There is no doubt that the signing [of
association agreements with the EU] by Ukraine and Moldova will have major consequences
but we should rather not make commonplace remarks but assess the implications
in order to avoid various kinds of misunderstandings and suspicions in the
future," the diplomat added.
