“The vast majority of the deputies have just supported the proposal of the European Commission to allocate a new program of EU macro-financial assistance to Ukraine in the amount of 1 billion euros. Thanks to all the friends of Ukraine in the European Parliament and European institutions for the unity in supporting Ukraine! This is another indication of our real progress on the path of reform. I look forward to the final approval of the EU Council,” – the head of state wrote.
