Pushkov: the European Union has started to get tired of Kiev
The head of the international Department of the state Duma Alexei Pushkov believes that the conversation at the conference Ukraine-EU will be hard, because Brussels began to tire from the actions of Kiev, and the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko is unlikely to have the cards to improve his situation. "The European Union is waiting for some results of economic policies that Ukraine has at least some economic perspective there. Today it is not, for that reason, I think that behind the smiles And hugs in reality there will be quite a tough conversation with Ukraine, because the Union of European States from the Ukraine began to get tired. The charm has passed, it is a time of disappointment, And I don't think Poroshenko has at least some leverage to respond to This disappointment, "said Pushkov, reports RIA" Novosti ". according to his vision, while the summit And demonstrate the overall political support for Ukraine from the EU, the EU currently imposes large demands to Kiev." Kiev must start to implement the Minsk consensus that He refuses to do. And in the European Union displeased, they signed the Minsk consensus to see how Kiev blocks And breaks, " said Pushkov. The Deputy also believes that the Union of European States is waiting for Kiev's fight against illegal activities of officials." But it is difficult to imagine how Poroshenko, the product of oligarchic structures in Ukraine, will be engaged in the fight against illegal activities of officials, what to expect, because then the dissatisfaction will grow And business circles, not only from residents. He may be in isolation, " - said Pushkov. Recall, the Ukrainian government And the EU leadership on the first day of the week gathered in Kiev on the 17th summit Ukraine - EU. This is the 1st summit high level after the signing of Kiev And the EU to the Treaty on the unity. Opening the summit, Poroshenko said that Kiev wants for 5 years to provide the implementation of the agreement with the European Union about the unity And achieve the conditions for applying for EU membership. He Also tried to convince the EU to recognize the right of Ukraine "as any European country" for membership in the European Union subject to the compliance criteria. Along with this, the head of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker said that the issue of Ukraine's accession to the EU is not on the immediate agenda.
