"Although it is disappointing, we must recognise that the six year romantic period in Ukraine’s political life is over. The result of Ukraine’s presidential elections is neither an accident, nor a ‘mistaken’ choice by the people of Ukraine. Rather, it reflects deeper political problems and the fact that the hopes of the Orange Revolution were not fulfilled.
Commissioner, you said that we expect energetic and purposeful action from Ukraine’s new President and new administration. The country needs serious structural reforms.
However, we should say something to the European Union. In this situation, if we want to have influence in the post-Soviet space and consolidate the positions of democracy and human rights in this region, then we must work with Ukraine, and more actively than ever before. The European Union must give Ukraine an alternative European vision. To do this, we should first of all aim for so-called ‘soft’ measures that have a long-term impact, such as promoting economic integration, the more active creation of people-to-people contacts and political dialogue with Ukraine’s government institutions."@en1
