(FTA) with the EU on January 1, 2016, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has
said.
"Neither Ukraine nor the EU will respond to
any blackmail, we are resolute in our desire to put into force the agreement on
the deep and comprehensive free trade area with the EU on January 1,
2016," the president said at a press conference after the talks with
