KIEV, Dec. 9 – A declaration on the content of a strategic partnership between Ukraine and Russia will be signed in the second quarter of 2011, Ukrainian Ambassador to Russia Volodymyr Yelchenko said.

"We've clearly set a goal to finish drawing up and agreeing this document by the next, fifth meeting of the Ukrainian-Russian interstate commission, which is to take place at the end of the second quarter of 2011 in Ukraine. I believe this will be in May or June, but a date has not been approved yet," the ambassador said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
