"To this end, the European Parliament and EU member states need to ratify this Association Agreement without any further delay. A positive vote in the foreign affairs committee today would be a very important first step.

"The support of the European Union is crucial for reform and reconstruction in Ukraine. The EU must prioritize this as a means to counter Putin’s strategy of destabilizing the country. Ukraine not only needs financial help, but also long-term assistance in the organisation of the state, public sector reform, the fight against corruption and economic recovery.”
