Ukraine is the "armor" of the EU, said the Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk in an interview to the French edition, noting the merits of Kiev in the "war for European values" and hinting that he wished to get a greater gratitude " Western friends ".
"We appreciate the support of our Western friends. But Europe and the World must remember the sacrifices of the Ukrainians to give them the freedom unprecedented in the modern history of the war for European values. Europe and the world must understand that Ukraine is at war against a nuclear power, armed to the teeth of the Russian Federation. Ukraine plays the role of body armor for the European Union, " he said.
The Prime Minister called the amount that Ukraine has already received from creditors, and the funds that it is required to obtain in the near future." These funds are intended to balance our budget, We have no right to spend a dime on social and military spending ", - noted Yatsenyuk.
"I will refrain from naming anyone specifically, But the difference between the support that We received, and the support provided to one of the member countries of the European Union, is just huge. One to ten", he said.
