ASHGABAT, Dec. 5 – Ukraine should agree to individual provisions of the Customs Union agreement, or else it could lose a great deal economically, President Viktor Yanukovych said.

He told Ukrainian journalists in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, on Wednesday that he had discussed Ukraine's interaction with the Customs Union with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the Ashgabat summit of the Commonwealth of Independent States.
