KIEV, March 8 – The Foreign Ministry has said a critical article by European foreign ministers, which was published in The New York Times, shows the EU's readiness to assist to Ukraine on its way towards European integration.

"Ukraine understands its partners' interest in the political situation inside our country. This article is more proof of Ukraine's relationship to the European family, [and] this is the best evidence of Europe's readiness to assist to Ukraine's European integration at the top level," the ministry's spokesman, Oleksandr Dykusarov, said at a briefing.
