EU will continue to support Ukraine’s reform path – Juncker

He wrote this on his Twitter account.

“Congratulations to Volodymyr Zelensky on his election as President of Ukraine. The people of Ukraine have demonstrated their strong attachment to democracy and the rule of law throughout the electoral process. The EU will continue to support Ukraine’s reform path and sovereignty,” he wrote.

According to him, this is a major achievement in the complex political, economic and security environment, against the backdrop of continuous challenges to the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

In the letter, Juncker noted that the new president can count on the EU’s support for Ukraine.

“As President of Ukraine, you can count on the EU’s strong support to Ukraine’s reform path, including consolidating the rule of law, fighting corruption, maintaining macro-financial stability and pursuing the essential reform of the energy sector,” he wrote.

The European Union strongly believes that the further implementation by the EU and Ukraine of the Association Agreement, including the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area, can be a key tool for reforming Ukraine, the president of the European Commission stressed.

Juncker wishes President-elect Volodymyr Zelensky a successful term and looks forward to meeting him at the earliest mutually agreed date.

As reported, the second round of Ukraine’s presidential elections was held on Sunday, April 21. According to the National Exit Poll, Volodymyr Zelensky won 73% of the vote, and Petro Poroshenko got 25.5%.

The voter turnout was 62.07%.
