Foreign Ministry of Ukraine has received a strict order from the president Viktor Yanukovych to finish this year and at all costs the negotiations and ratification of the agreement with the EU.

"During one of the meetings Yanukovych warned Foreign Minister Hryshchenko that if there was no the agreement by the end of the year, Hryshchenko would be dismissed. Hence, the Foreign Ministry is quite motivated," a source in the presidential administration told "Komersant-Ukraine."

Under current conditions Ukrainian diplomats are not limited to simple meetings and talks, but also use the media field. According to the newspaper, diplomats are contacting European press to publish articles, called to prove to European officials that Tymoshenko is a real criminal and must be punished for her activities as a Prime Minister.
