"As for the signing, you have seen the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, which authorized two officials, the Minister of Economy Yulia Svyrydenko and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Andriy Sybiga, to sign this agreement. This means that one of these two will sign it. We will see it tomorrow. I think that this will be further agreed upon during the visit, and we will see when the actual signing will take place," Tikhiy said.
He noted that the focus should be on the document itself, not on who will sign it.
"This is more of a technical issue that does not change the text of the agreement and its implementation. Which of these two officials will sign it is not so critical," Tikhiy added.
