Not only simplify borders laws but one day a complete open crossing of people and goods...Belorus have to in future fall in this line to! Your three nations represent a family bound by all possible means as only few in this world...It's nice to see that Russia and Ukraine building their ties on all levels. Thats how always was true 1000 year old history among those states and thats how things shall go in future to.... It look faraway at the moment but in my opinion Russia,Ukraine and Belorus must work hard to see all 3 united in some kind of union state in future. People who sit in goverments shall set their present and future policies for NOTHING LESS! Blood is not water ,so go for it! Thank you....

Ukraine is the first reserve of human capital for the Russian Federation. Russia´s income per head is twice higher than Ukraine´s, and with lots of projects under construction (Sochi, Vladivostok, Skolkovo, infraestructure, defense industry...) So whole areas of Russia will receive a new wave of Ukrainian (mostly Russian speaking) immigrants. And, if at the same time life expectancy increases in Russia (deaths by AIDS and car accidents approaching Western European levels, for example) Russan population will increase by two or three million during the next decade. Also thousands of Asian immigrants will arrive but Ukrainians will be given "preference" as they assimilate easily.
