Jean-Claude Juncker: Standing by Ukraine (PDF)

Jean-Claude Juncker

"I believe that Ukrainian citizens will be free from the visa obligation in a matter of weeks."

It is now three years since hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians gathered on Independence Square in Kiev to demand a better future for their country. As they did so, they looked towards the European Union to support them on their path back to stable democracy and lasting prosperity. As President of the European Commission, I have made it one of my top priorities to repay that faith. I am under no illusions about the challenges facing the government in Kiev or the ordinary citizens around the country. The road to reform and stability is a long and difficult one. But the scale and speed of the change in Ukraine in the last three years eclipses the last 20 years put together.
