KIEV, Dec. 20 – Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has noted the importance of the decision by the European Commission to provide EUR 104 million as financial assistance to Ukraine, as well as the signing of a memorandum and a number of cooperation agreements with the European Investment Bank.

"I have closely followed the meeting of the EU-Ukraine Association Council, which has been held in Brussels today. We are pleased with the practical results of this meeting. I would also like to note that the Association Council called for the need to continue both political interaction and cooperation in the fields of energy, infrastructure, trade, agriculture, justice and home affairs. This means that in 2017 we will have to do a lot of systemic work with our European partners," he wrote on Facebook page on Monday.
