During his parliament speech, the former president of Ukraine and leader of the ‘European Solidarity’ party Petro Poroshenko called on the authorities to comply with their obligations to European partners who provide Ukraine with financial support within the framework of the Ukraine Facility program.

Poroshenko reminded that for the European Union, adherence to democratic values, media freedom and political pluralism are the red lines that cannot be violated.

The former president noted that the support of Europe is of strategic importance for Ukraine.

‘Today’s vote on the Framework Agreement on the support mechanism is not about the diplomatic successes of the authorities. This is not the success of Poroshenko or Zelensky. This is not the success of the previous or current Verkhovna Rada. This is honor and respect for the victims of Ukraine in Bucha, Borodyanka, Izyum, and Mariupol. And this is the price that Ukraine has paid and is paying for the high honor of becoming a member of the European Union and, I hope, a member of the NATO,’ Poroshenko stated.

He also added that Ukraine assumes a great responsibility. In his opinion, the task of the Verkhovna Rada is to realize and implement 69 reforms, 10 investment projects and 146 indicators and benchmarks in a very short time.
