Poroshenko: Ukraine-EU mini-summit is a signal of support for Ukraine’s course
President Poroshenko told this to journalists in Brussels on March 20 before the meeting, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.
“I’d like to thank the leadership of the European Union, since the mini-summit, which is held today [March 20] is a unique in its format. Since Ukraine has never met simultaneously with the President of the European Council, the President of the European Commission, the President of the European Parliament, vice-presidents, members of the European Commission, with whom we have a very dense agenda,” said Poroshenko.
He also stressed that the mini-summit was held ten days before the presidential election in Ukraine.
“This is an absolutely clear format of support. Not just the support for Poroshenko, but the support for Ukraine, our European aspirations. Ukraine now needs this support. The time is crucial for Ukraine’s future. Either Ukraine continues its development along with its own Ukrainian path, continues the integration into the EU and NATO, putting on the agenda the issue on complying with the criteria of its future membership, or a possible reversal is not ruled out,” Poroshenko stressed.
