The President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko delivered a speech at the Summit of the European People's Party (EPP) in Helsinki. The President’s Administration reported that on Thursday morning.
'Ukraine is an outpost within the counterwork of the Russian hybrid aggression, the main challenge for the European security and stability,' the head of the state said.
The President stressed that it was important to preserve and enhance sanctions against Russia. Poroshenko urged the international society to condemn the fake Kremlin-organized elections on November 11 in Donbas.
He also mentioned the necessity to increase an international pressure on the Russian side to release Ukrainian political prisoners.
In addition, during his working visit to Finland, Poroshenko and his Finnish counterpart Sauli Niinistö discussed the steps that should be taken to free the Ukrainians illegally convicted in Russia.
