Yanukovych says Ukraine doesn't need to choose between EU, Eurasian community

Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has said that statements that Ukraine needs to choose between integration into the European Union and the Eurasian community are wrong.

"My position is that any talk that Ukraine needs to choose between the deepening of cooperation with the CIS member states, the Eurasian integration project and Europe is fundamentally wrong," Yanukovych said at a meeting of the Council of the Leaders of the CIS member states in Minsk on Friday.
