Viktor Yanukovych, one of the main contenders for the presidential election in Ukraine on January 17, 2010, recently said that he would like to join the Customs Union created between Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan.
The Union is supposed to begin functioning on January 1, 2010. It seeks to create a single economic area between the three countries by 2012.
If Mr. Yanukovich wins and follows through on his promise, the Customs Union would then reach Moldovan borders. Provided that the Alliance stays in power, it is unlikely Chisinau would join the Union considering the fact that the coalition has begun to look increasingly to the West.
