Ukraine's movement towards EU is key government priority for coming years – PM

Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said this at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on Wednesday, September 30, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"The EU-Ukraine Summit will take place in Brussels on October 6. Yesterday, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine's movement towards the European Union is even more relevant than before, and we certainly agree that this is a key priority for our work for the coming years. Therefore, we are constantly working and making important decisions on European integration in the field of ecology, education, business support, and deregulation in many other areas," Shmyhal said.

He added that at almost every meeting, the Cabinet of Ministers approves European integration regulations and other by-laws.

In this context, Shmyhal said that at today's meeting, the government, together with the EU, has prepared three new agreements totaling EUR 60 million to help small and medium-sized businesses in the context of their greening, to support the regions of eastern Ukraine, and to develop civic society.
