The European Union refused to agree on the text of a joint statement following the Ukraine-EU summit, where the administration of Petro Poroshenko demanded that the prospect of a “European future” be fixed.

As a result, it was decided to end the summit without approving a final statement or joint declaration.
In diplomatic practice, this means a “cold shower” for Ukraine, since it indicates the European community’s distrust of the authorities, the publication states.
Ukraine insisted on including in the final document the phrase: “The European Union recognizes Ukraine’s European aspirations and welcomes its European choice, including its commitment to develop a developed and sustainable democracy and a market economy.”
However, European officials refused to accept such a declaration.
Kiev TV presenter Alexander Dubinsky believes that the administration of Petro Poroshenko will traditionally try to hide the resounding failure with bravura statements about the success of the summit.
“Excuse me, but will Petr Alekseevich write on Twitter that at the Ukraine-EU Summit he was sent to hell with his “European negligence” and was denied the prospect of membership in the European Union? Or is this not the loudest success of his foreign diplomacy, and we are waiting for more high-profile occasions?” – Dubinsky comments sarcastically.
Poroshenko’s press service really did not report anything about the problems with holding the summit, but published quotes from another pathetic speech of the president.
“Ukraine has clearly declared its European aspirations and European choice. And we won't give it to anyone. And no one has the right to take this away from us... I have hope that someday we will hold the next Ukraine-EU summits - let me make this assumption - in Donetsk and Yalta. I would do everything possible for this,” Poroshenko said.
