"Mr President, Ukraine is a very important country to us. It is a country which faces a lot of challenges. I would like to thank the Commissioner for a perfect description of the situation, as well as a perfect description of our expectations.
A new government was elected through free and fair elections, recognised by all of us. Today is the right time to leave this government to deliver, and not to prejudge its achievements or non-achievements from the first minutes of its mandate. The real problem of this debate is a problem we have here. We were too fast in dividing that country into pro-westerners and pro-easterners. Now we have a problem, since the pro-westerners are not in power, in recognising the pro-easterners’ capacity to deliver and to help the country promote its European expectations. This is the real problem with this debate today and we should understand that the real pro-Europeans are the pro-Ukrainians – those who are able to bring the rule of law, democracy and European modernisation to their country.
I would conclude simply by asking colleagues to decide to postpone the resolution we are expected to adopt, because the Ukrainians are facing elections and they face negotiations with us. We should not adopt resolutions in the middle of a political process and before we have the facts on the basis of which we can indeed draw conclusions."@en1
