Or will Ukraine be in the Customs Union?&#39; And a miracle happened: Yanukovych and his party stopped European integration,&quot; said Ukrainian Batkivshchinya (All-Ukrainian Union &quot;Fatherland&quot;) party MP Aleksander Bryhynets today, in conversation with the Russian <a href=\"http:\/\/regnum.ru\/news\/fd-abroad\/ukraina\/1731745.html\"><span style=\"color:#000080;\"><strong>Regnum news agency<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAccording to the parliamentary deputy, finding himself in a similar situation was Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, who suddenly abandoned European integration in favor of the Customs Union. &quot;Why did Yanukovych drastically change his position after meeting with Putin? Several months ago, a similar thing happened with Armenia&#39;s president, when he met with Putin and changed his position,&quot; said Bryhynets.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tEarlier, Chair of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Volodymyr Rybak closed the special meeting and said that the three matters relating to &quot;European integration&quot; that were submitted for consideration are not ready. &quot;The bill on the possibility of prisoners being treated abroad, unfortunately, has not been prepared by the parliamentary ad-hoc working group. The other two initiatives, [the law] on the [general] prosecution and [the law] on improving the legislation on holding elections, likewise are not ready. They need so many amendments that they need to be discussed for months in the committees,&quot; said Rybak.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAdoption of these three laws was the EU&#39;s strict condition for signing the Association Agreement. At the same time, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said that Kiev is moving from the EU to Russia. &quot;Ukraine cannot refuse to cooperate with Russia, since there is no source of compensation for the losses incurred by making such a move,&quot; said Ukraine&#39;s PM.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Russian President Vladimir Putin during the last negotiations sat around the table, smiled, pulled out a dossier from the KGB archives from under the table&#8230;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":239789,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tstyn_error":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[50053,23285,28507,16056,51550],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243531"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243531"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243531\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/239789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243531"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243531"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
