In an interview with German broadcaster ARD, Kuleba said positive changes had taken place after Germany decided to deliver heavy weapons to Ukraine and support a proposed EU embargo on Russian oil.
The Ukrainian Foreign Minister also demanded today that a seat be reserved for his country in the European Union, even if the negotiations take a long time.
“We hear very often that Ukraine belongs to the European family and at the moment it is important to reserve a place” for the country in the European Union, said on German television the head of Ukrainian diplomacy during his visit to Germany.
“We are not talking about Ukraine joining the EU as soon as possible, but it is important for us to keep this position for Ukraine,” Dmitry Kuleba told ARD.
