KYIV, March 26 - Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze said that Ukraine would narrow a delay in the implementation of the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement (AA) in 2018.

"I think that we will significantly narrow a gap in our implementation, but looking at how the events are developing, I do not have optimism about the fact that we will fully implement everything that we did not implement in 2016-2017 and things that we must implement in 2018," she said at a press briefing devoted to real challenges for implementing the association agreement and the progress in the implementation of the action plan for 2018 held in Kyiv on Monday.
