"We are also preparing for a new result in our relations with the European Union. The EU has already approved the negotiating framework for Ukraine, and we expect the actual start of negotiations on June 25 – the Ukrainian Government delegation will be in Brussels for that. It is a truly historic week," the head of state noted.

He recalled that this is exactly what Ukraine has been working toward for the past decade.
