“Moscow wants to pull in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan as well and to transform it into an EU-type ‘Eurasian Union’ in the coming years.  On the other side, the EU has offered to sign a political association and free trade pact with Ukraine in November if it improves rule of law.  Putin’s comments come in the wake of severe customs restrictions by Russian authorities between 14 and 20 August which caused a near standstill in Ukrainian road and rail imports. Russia in July also banned Ukraine’s top chocolate brand, Roshen, saying it caused cancer, while Kazakhstan on 20 August banned Ukrainian eggs.”
