Gerashchenko assures German lawmakers of Ukraine’s commitment to Euro-Atlantic integration

“The other day I met with the members of the German Bundestag from the Free Democratic Party Renata Alt and Frank Müller-Rosentritt. It seems to me that was the first visit of a European parliamentary delegation after the elections, so we were talking about the results and the inalterability of Ukraine’s path towards Euro-Atlantic integration. I once again stressed that the path was wisely enshrined by President Poroshenko and the current parliament convocation in the Constitution, therefore no changes are possible," Gerashchenko posted on Facebook following a recent meeting with members of the German Bundestag from the Free Democratic Party.

At the same time, she stressed that the key topic of the meeting was the situation in Donbas and Crimea, the peaceful settlement.

According to the First Vice Speaker of Verkhovna Rada, Germany has played an important role in settling the situation in Donbas in recent years.

In addition, Gerashchenko and German lawmakers discussed the necessity of the implementation of the initiative of President Poroshenko regarding the deployment of UN peacekeeping mission in the occupied territory, which, in her opinion, will contribute to demilitarization and de-occupation.

As reported, the faction of the Free Democratic Party in the Bundestag unanimously adopted a document, which outlines a new strategy regarding the situation in eastern Ukraine in twelve paragraphs. The strategy is expected to be submitted to the Bundestag for consideration soon.
