Read it in Russian

Any government that will be formed by one or another coalition as a result of the parliamentary elections will face the task of establishing relations with Russia in economic and humanitarian fields, seeking formulae of real participation in integration processes within CIS, Chairman of the Russian Parliamentary Committee on CIS Affairs Andrei Kokoshin made the statement on March 27 commenting on provisional results of the elections to the Ukraine’s Supreme Rada.

As a REGNUM correspondent reports, according to Kokoshin, “the time after the presidential elections in Ukraine in 2004 has been practically a failure in Ukrainian-Russian relations through Ukraine’s fault.”

As Kokoshin says, there has been given no alternative to the close, really mutually beneficial cooperation between Ukraine and Russia by those who came to power in 2004. The new government, new authorities are to do this, stressed the Russian MP.
