TALLINN, Oct. 15 - Ukraine appreciates Estonia's readiness to provide its assistance in the implementation of reforms aimed at signing the Association Agreement with the European Union, President Viktor Yanukovych said.

"One of the most pressing issues on our agenda today is the development of relations between Ukraine and the European Union. I highly appreciate the constructive position and consistent support of the Estonian side in matters of Ukraine's European integration," he told reporters in Tallinn on Tuesday after talks held with Estonian partners.

Yanukovych said that this position by Estonian partners was very important to Ukraine today, when preparations for the Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius are coming to an end.
