„The fact that Ukraine has taken important steps at the very highest level to sign an Association Agreement with the EU is a very good sign showing that Ukraine is taking seriously its prospect of becoming an EU member state,“ Kirkilas said after a meeting with Ukrainian Ambassador to Lithuania Valeriy Zhovtenko.
There are hopes that the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement will be signed during the forthcoming EU Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius on Nov. 28-29. Concerned about opposition persecution, EU officials have warned Ukraine to show progress in organizing elections and prevent „selective justice.“
