According to a Ukrainian diplomatic source, Solovyev continues, Moscow has prepared “a whole list of concrete steps which the new powers that be in Kyiv could undertake as a sign of the renewal of the former friendship between the fraternal peoples.” Moscow “would like,” the source continued, to see Ukraine’s security services drop its relations with the American CIA.
In addition, Moscow would like to “renew the work of the Russian FSB office in the Black Sea Fleet, the officers of which [Yushchenko] had required to quit Crimea at the end of last year.” And it has indicated that Moscow “expects” Yanukovich to “end any military cooperation with Georgia, a link that had flourished under his predecessor.
Paul Globe post about the new demands from Moscow. Apparently this includes repairing the relationship between the FSB and SBU, avoiding another incident like the one in 2009. This is probably one reason why Yanukovych choose Brussels as his first destination, signalling to Moscow that he would attempt a multi-vector foreign policy like Kuchma.
