Ukraine will join EU within 10 years: PM

BERLIN, (APP/AFP) – Ukraine will join the EU
within the next decade, Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman said Friday, adding that his country still believed strongly in the bloc despite Britain’s vote to leave.
Groysman told Germany’s Funke media group that Ukraine saw
its future in the West and hailed an association agreement with the EU
as a “driving force” behind reforms in Kiev.
“I am convinced that Ukraine will be in the EU in 10 years,”
he said.
“We are going the European way and that means for us: freedom,
human rights and a strong economy.”
Groysman said he regretted the “Brexit” referendum
outcome.
