Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan

Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych said on Friday his country was considering joining the Customs Union between Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

"[Joining the Customs Union] is a possibility, but we have procedures to comply with," Yanukovych said at a joint news conference with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

He said that constitutional amendments would need to be passed "either in parliament or via a national referendum."
