"The European Union should continue to demonstrate the unity and solidarity in support of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. Now it is important more than ever. The EU’s sanctions remain one of the most effective mechanisms to deter Russian aggression. We look forward to continued support of the EU, including the provision of additional trade preferences for Ukraine," Kubiv said. In turn, Johannes Hahn assured that the EU fully supported Ukraine, praising ambitious reforms, which its Government conducted in social, economic, and trade fields.
