We are not on the way! Poroshenko recalls representatives of Ukraine from the statutory bodies of the CIS
In his speech, Poroshenko stressed that Europe should be understood not as a geographical category, but as “the common values of independence, democracy and respect for the person and his rights and freedoms”.
As reported, on May 2, the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) supported the proposal to cease the participation of Ukrainian representatives in the activities of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
Ukraine was one of the three signatories of the Agreement on the Establishment of the CIS 8 in December 1991, along with the Russian Federation and Belarus. However, in January 1993 in Minsk at the CIS summit, where the Charter of the Commonwealth was adopted, Ukraine did not sign it. Since spring 2014, Kiev’s participation in CIS events has been reduced to a minimum.
