“Half a year is more than enough to eliminate all the shortcomings of the bill. I think that this is a kind of middle-level sabotage and, in my opinion, it should be under the watchful eye of the SBU,” she said.
In fact, due to the fact that the bill has not yet been adopted by the deputies, trade between Ukraine and Moldova is possible only under the Free Trade Area Agreement with the CIS, which Ukraine has not yet denounced.
“If we are talking about the fact that the actual founder of this CIS is Russia, with which we are waging a merciless war, then any agreements that bind us with this organization must be broken. And any sabotage of the termination of these agreements, from my point of view, should be under the close scrutiny of law enforcement agencies,” Friz emphasized.
She assured that the deputies are ready to support the relevant government initiative to terminate the next agreement between Ukraine and CIS.
“I am sure that we must switch to bilateral relations with countries that are still part of this half-dead association, so we will not hesitate and are ready to vote for this initiative for the basis and in general,”— Freese summarized.
