Ukraine will always defend its own national interests, President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych stresses.
"We have been fought and will fight for protection of our national interests. We’ll act not to please someone but to do the best for our country," Yanukovych said in interview with Ukrainian TV channels, the President’s press service informs.
As he said, defending the national interests should not be at the expense of human life or the state of the economy.
"We are the independent state. Improving well-being of our people, strengthening our nation within foreign policy should be at the heart of all our actions, domestic or foreign policy actions," the President said.
"That's our goal," he added.
