President Petro Poroshenko will sign a law approved by the Verkhovna Rada on the termination of the Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. The Head of State informed this during the participation in the solemn meeting on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the foundation of the Prosvita Society during the working visit to Lviv region.
"Of course, there is a certain symbolism in terminating, at last, the Treaty of the so-called friendship with Russia. I submitted the relevant law to the Verkhovna Rada, it was adopted and I will sign it on Monday. This is a historic event. Exactly like the withdrawal from the CIS," Petro Poroshenko said.
The Head of State also reminded that in recent years, Ukraine carried out decommunization and prohibition of the communist party blamed for the Holodomor, the Great Terror, denationalization and many other crimes.
"A few years ago, pursuant to my initiative, finally, at the state level, we recognized the army of the UPR and the UPA as participants in the national liberation struggle. And literally the day before yesterday, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a bill according to which the fighters for the independence of Ukraine in the XX century have been given the official status of combatants - at the same level as the heroes who currently defend the country from the Russian aggression," the President noted, adding that four years ago, it was hard to imagine that this could be done so quickly.
"So you understand that I will sign this law as soon as I receive it from the Parliament. Immediately," the Head of State assured.
