KIEV, July 26 - Ukraine and Russia are still discussing the date of a meeting of their inter-state commission, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said.

"Preparations are under way, I will not tell the date, but it is currently being agreed upon with our Russian colleagues," ministry spokesman Oleksandr Dykusarov said at a briefing.

A Ukrainian diplomatic source said on Tuesday that the fifth meeting of the Russian-Ukrainian Inter-State commission chaired by Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and his Russian counterpart, Dmitry Medvedev, is most likely to be held this fall.
