EU is Ukraine's largest donor – Maasikas

"We continue to work to fulfill the aspirations for political association and economic integration as set out in the Association Agreement. The Agreement is our joint commitment to bring Ukraine and the EU closer together," Maasikas said at the opening of Europe Day, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

He noted that the European Union is Ukraine's largest donor, and the coronavirus pandemic has made it possible to realize the importance of solidarity and cooperation. The ambassador recalled that since the beginning of 2020, the EU has supported the healthcare system of Ukraine. The European Union is also a donor under the COVAX Facility.

"The pandemic will not destroy our values and will not stop us from moving forward," Maasikas emphasized.

Ukraine annually celebrates Europe Day on the third Saturday of May.
