signed in Moscow on March 18, 2009.
The commitment to earlier accords, a political settlement of the
problem and a special reliable guaranteed status of the Dniester region on

were clearly stated in the Kiev statement by the Russia and Ukrainian
president date May 17, 2010.
"Such approaches can help unblock the negotiations and continue the
search for compromises and pre-requisites for a comprehensible viable
settlement.
"The ministers will also consider ways of enhancing the effectiveness
of integration within the Commonwealth of Independent States. They will
exchange their views of the development of pan-European and regional
interaction.
Lavrov and Leance will confirm readiness to strengthen humanitarian
cooperation, and intensify ties in the education and the information
fields, as well as in preserving the traditional positions of the Russian

trade and economic cooperation.

turnover between the two states made up 1.046 billion dollars.
The supplies and transit of Russian natural gas determine, to a
considerable extent, the general dynamics of economic cooperation. Russia

Russian investments made up 200 million dollars. The two diplomats plan to
