“There are concerns in the EU about the number of people from Donetsk and Lugansk who are traveling from the horrors of terrorism, about additional migration pressure,” the minister noted.
Klimkin assured that the European Commission and the EU have no doubt that Ukraine will carry out the entire block of reforms. “But against the backdrop of migration that has recently occurred, including from the Balkan region, we must prove that we are able to help those who suffered in Donetsk and Lugansk,” he emphasized.
