By KYIV. Dec 9 (Interfax-Ukraine) – President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy hopes that the adoption of European integration laws by the Verkhovna Rada will be appreciated by the leaders of the European Union.
“Today, by the way, Ukrainian parliament passed the necessary laws in line with the recommendations of the European Commission in fighting graft and regarding the rights of national minorities. We have taken into account the conclusions of the Venice Commission – specifically regarding national communities. We expect that Ukraine’s efforts will be properly assessed by EU leaders, and the corresponding European promises to Ukraine will be fulfilled,” he said in a video address on Friday.
“We had seven recommendations – we did everything expected of us by December. We continue our active foreign policy work to bring gains for Ukraine in defense, MFA, and political and motivational strength,” he said.
According to Zelenskyy, “anyone defending freedom needs to feel that they are not alone. The free world must be united. And to truly succeed, Ukraine must be a donor of unity. Every step in our foreign policy is aimed at this.”
