In today’s podcast episode, it is a great pleasure as well as an honour to exchange with His Excellency Mykola Tochytskyi, Head of the Mission of Ukraine to the EU as well as Ambassador to Luxembourg and Belgium on the current situation in Ukraine and the prospects of EU- Ukraine relations in the wake of the Russian military build-up. We spoke about Kiyv’s perspective on the developments in Ukraine and its borders, on the negotiation process and implementation of the Minsk Agreements, as well as the EU’s response and role in supporting Ukraine and its people- not only on the short, but also on the long term.
