Germany to assist Ukraine with speeding up its path towards EU membership – FM Kuleba
The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Minister Dmytro Kuleba during a joint press conference with German Federal Foreign Affairs Minister Annalena Baerbock in Kyiv, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“Today it has been extremely important for me to hear from the German colleague that Germany stands for Ukraine’s rapid progress on its path towards EU membership. In this regard, I accepted Annalena’s proposal, and we agreed to launch a project between the foreign ministries of Germany and Ukraine. As part of this project, Germany will provide certain resources and opportunities to strengthen the institutional capabilities of the Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Ministry regarding European integration,” Kuleba told.
In his words, this will make Ukraine’s path towards EU membership even faster.
According to Kuleba, they also discussed in detail establishing a Special Tribunal to bring to justice the leadership of the Russian Federation over the crime of aggression.
“Our legal advisors will continue working to find an optimal format for establishing it,” Kuleba added.
