According to him, in Kiev "at present, certain, rather painful steps are being taken, to which part of society is responding with protests."
He added that "he wants to tell Europe that these very difficult decisions should not just hang in the air." Pristayko believes that European countries should "substitute their shoulder and support them."
“Because if you don’t squeeze Russia now, the situation will roll back to a state of military confrontation, that is, we will begin to barricade again,” said the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.
Earlier, the EU noted the progress of Kiev in the implementation of the Minsk agreements.
