VILNIUS, Nov. 28 – The decision of the Ukrainian government to take a pause in the preparations for the signing of the Association Agreement will result in a mass outflow of investment from the country and will only intensify its financial problems, Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt said.

"I can say for sure that the policy the Ukrainian government is enforcing in public is illogical. I can add only one thing – I bet the capital outflow from Ukraine will be higher than any financial aid from Russia," he said at a conference in Vilnius.

The minister added that no one invests millions in "a black hole."
