KYIV. Sept 14 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Europe should provide every possible assistance to reforms in Ukraine, British former prime minister Tony Blair has said.
Speaking at the 12th annual meeting of Yalta European Strategy (YES), Blair said that Ukraine’s problem is its political and economic history, and Europe as a whole needs to understand what is happening in this country. Ukraine is fighting not only for its future but also for the future of Europe, he said.
Europeans should be aware of this and provide Ukraine with as much help as they can, the ex-premier said.
According to him, the most difficult thing in politics is carrying out reforms, but Ukraine needs drastic changes. The Ukrainian government is carrying out reforms in very difficult conditions, and Europe should show solidarity with Ukraine and provide it with every possible assistance, Blair said.
