OREANDA-NEWS. October 01, 2015. "We have a clear motivation why Ukraine has taken the relevant decision. They shouldn’t have seized our Crimea, dispatched their troops to Donetsk and Luhansk", stressed the Head of Government.

At the same time, he added, our neighbours in the north "without any reasons, as always, started threatening and imposing undue response measures against Ukrainian airlines": "In international relations one of the prevailing principle is the principle of reciprocity, unless otherwise is determined by our bilateral deals."

Arseniy Yatsenyuk appealed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin: "If Russia thinks in such a way they would destroy our airlines, they will fail".

The Prime Minister commissioned the Foreign Minister to hold relevant consultations on this pending issue: "Please, explain urgently to our neighbours that the sanctions have been imposed. By the moment Russia gets out of Crimea, the Aeroflot cannot overfly. But it is necessary to follow our bilateral agreements on mutual flights basing on the reciprocity principle".

"We must protect our own market, so Ukraine, by imposing reasonable sanctions, will protect our companies and our economic interest," highlighted the Head of Government.
