"European partners are with us today – on Europe Day. I am grateful to President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and her team for the visit to Kyiv. I raised the issue of the export of Ukrainian agricultural products to the European Union. I am grateful for the support for the initiative of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky to create a coordination group to monitor relevant problematic issues," the Head of Government posted on Telegram.

The parties discussed the implementation of the seven recommendations of the European Commission which our country received upon obtaining candidate status. "We are at the final stage of their implementation and closely cooperate with the EU at all levels. The issue of the Multi-agency Donor Coordination Platform activities was also touched on," the Prime Minister added.

Shmyhal thanked von der Leyen for her personal leadership in supporting Ukraine and the European Commission for its powerful comprehensive assistance.

"We are getting closer to the fulfillment of our ambitious goal — gaining full-fledged membership of Ukraine in the EU," the Head of Government emphasized.

As reported, on May 8, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree according to which Ukraine will celebrate Europe Day on May 9 from now on.
