If the Euro Commission signed its approval in June - - why on earth doesn't the UA-authorities lift the bum from their hands and sign? It's 3 months late now? And btw - does this commitment match the generous offer from Brother Russia? Or have I misunderstood something? Perhaps no offer?

It reads better here, where it's probably written in Ukrainina and Russian too. http://www.everychild.org.ua/en/news/1158008822/
