"Mr President, I think that more than ever, we should be interested in cooperation between Ukraine and the European Union, because we have already decided we are going to be saying ‘no’ to Turkey for a long time to come. In Serbia, elections have been won by parties and groups which are anti-European and opposed to Europe. The regime in Belarus has not relaxed its grip at all, but continues instead to bolster its position, nor are we dealing with a process of democratisation in Putin’s Russia at the moment, but with another case of tightening the reins. It seems to me that we should be very concerned about this.
On the other hand, if we look at what is going on in Ukraine, I have the feeling that anti-European forces are getting stronger there too, although society in general is in favour of Europe. The First Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Renat Kuzmin, visited us here in Parliament, and we talked about the situation of Yulia Tymoshenko. We said it is imperative she be released immediately on health grounds. All we heard in reply was that there are going to be further trials, this time in connection with suspicions that Members of the Ukrainian Parliament have been murdered. This is not a sign that Ukraine wants to cooperate with those who want Ukraine in Europe."@en1
