European Union calls it ‘crucial,’ urges reforms

BRUSSELS: The European Union said on Thursday that Ukraine’s parliamentary approval of Volodymyr Groysman as prime minister was “crucial” and urged speeding up reforms.
“Today’s appointment of a new government in Ukraine, headed by Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman, is a crucial development at a time when new momentum in the country is badly needed,” EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and European Commissioner Johannes Hahn said in a joint statement.
“The momentum offered with the appointment of the new prime minister and government must be seized now,” they said.
