Tusk to Poroshenko: Your reputation is very high not only in Brussels

European Council President Donald Tusk has praised the efforts of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in carrying out reforms in his state.

He stated this at a meeting with Poroshenko on Tuesday.

Tusk noted the efforts of the Ukrainian people in the fight against Russian aggression. "This is the first time in our common European history, when such resistance, courage and pragmatism were demonstrated. Because I feel, and this not only my opinion, that you are heroes and pragmatics. It's unique," he said.

"I also really appreciate your personal role, Mr. President. You also have good reasons to be proud. This is not just my personal opinion. Your reputation and reputation of the whole country is very high not only in Brussels but also in all capitals of Europe. You have deserved such a reputation," he said.
