MOSCOW, Dec. 17 – Head of the European Union Delegation to Russia Vygaudas Usackas expects that the participants in a Russia-Ukraine-EU trilateral ministerial meeting in Brussels on December 21 will find mutually acceptable solutions related to the implementation of the Ukraine-EU free trade agreement, which would help avoid restrictions in trade between Russia and Ukraine.

"The ministerial meeting scheduled to take place here in Brussels on the 21st of December is the last chance to find a common understanding. We expect that all parties will come to the table in a constructive mood and in the spirit of finding mutually acceptable pragmatic solutions avoiding restrictions of trade between Russia and Ukraine when on the 1st of January 2016 the DCFTA between the EU and Ukraine will enter into force," Usackas said in an interview with Interfax.
