he EU member-sates are ready to support Ukraine on its path towards
European integration, State Secretary of Hungary's Foreign Affairs
Ministry Jeno Faller addressed the 3rd Europe-Ukraine Forum in Kyiv, Ukrinform reported.
“The EU members are ready to back the partners on the eastern
border to improve economic and political processes in Ukraine. We are
ready to focus all efforts to intensify Ukraine's integration with
Europe. The Eastern Partnership will take all efforts Ukraine will not
be able to refuse from. Much in this matter depends on our Ukrainian
partners as well,” Jeno Faller claimed.
For his part, Bernard Felderer, Director of the Institute for
Advanced Studies (Austria), stressed “In the event of significant
problems in Ukraine the EU will surely give a hand. As, for example, it
was done in Hungary. The funds of the International Monetary Fund will
be attracted in particular. Assistance is being now prepared for
another two-three countries. In case of serious troubles the EU will
have to help those countries that are non-EU members, but they are
close neighbors. Ukraine, in particular. If the situation stabilizes in
that country, this will lead to a greater stabilization of the wider
region”.
