"Imported medicines should not be sold in Ukraine at much higher prices than in our neighboring countries. The state must protect the interests of citizens and bring order to price formation," he said.

"These steps should, of course, be careful and gradual," Viktor Yanukovych said, adding that the Government should begin with a pilot group of medicines for those categories of citizens who most need them.
