"I plan to meet with the Russian president," said Yushchenko, whose country has been in a deep political crisis since he signed a decree to dissolve parliament in early April.
Oleksandr Chalyi, deputy chief of the presidential secretariat, said Yushchenko would attend the informal post-Soviet summit June 10.
Yushchenko said the most important issue in bilateral relations with Russia was a joint plan of action for 2007-08, which is supposed to outline the border and specify the status of the Russian Fleet in the Ukrainian Black Sea.
The Ukrainian leader said the plan of action was also designed to regulate energy cooperation, partnership in aircraft building and space, and in social and humanitarian spheres.
Relations between the two countries have been marred by an energy spat in January 2006, the Russian fleet issue, and Ukrainian leadership's Western-oriented policy since President Yushchenko came to power on the back of the "orange revolution" in 2004.
A senior Russian lawmaker, Konstantin Zatulin, said Tuesday that Russia would break the cooperation agreement deal with Ukraine if it joined NATO, but Russian Ambassador to Kiev Viktor Chernomyrdin denied the possibility.
President Vladimir Putin has said Russia was positive about Ukraine joining the European Union, but found its accession to NATO harmful.
