MEPs ready to vote for granting visa-free regime to Ukraine – Mingarelli

Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Andriy Parubiy noted the importance to accelerate granting of visa-free regime to Ukraine and to complete the ratification of the EU-Ukraine Association.

He said this during a meeting with Head of the EU Delegation to Ukraine Hugues Mingarelli and representatives of the European Commission.

Parubiy thanked for a decision made by the European Union to extend sanctions against the Russian Federation as "the Ukrainian army and the sanctions of the European civilized world are the only factors that deter aggression."

He also stressed that the decision on visa-free regime was extremely important, especially on the eve of the anniversary of Maidan protests.

In turn, Mingarelli said that MEPs "are ready to support this decision." "I am confident that the summit on November 23 will give an appropriate impetus," he stressed.
