Regarding the association with the European Union

The Committee of Ukrainian citizens fully endorses Ukraine’s course towards an association with the European Union and expresses its support for the efforts of the President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, aimed at achieving this goal landmark.

Committee of citizens of Ukraine believes that, leading the movement of Ukraine to Europe, President Yanukovych made a very serious bid for re-election in 2015, and to ensure that all citizens are now treated him as a national leader who could actually defend the interests of Ukraine and to lead society on path of development and prosperity.

The Committee of Ukrainian citizens also notes that the efforts of the Party of Regions in the parliament, aimed at the conclusion of the Association Agreement with the European Union in Ukraine, significantly strengthened the authority of the party in the eyes of the Ukrainian people.

At the same time, the Committee of Ukrainian citizens concerned that the adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine’s Law on Prevention of Discrimination encounters misunderstanding of the deputies of the fact that, whatever that may be discrimination in the least incompatible with European values, and therefore any resistance from the authorities eliminate discrimination thereby automatically makes Ukraine outside the family of European nations.

The Committee of Ukrainian citizens requires the President of Ukraine and the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine to immediately cease completely irrelevant discussion on the need to continue in Ukraine any form of discrimination, which are extremely discredit Ukraine in the eyes of the civilized world, and to take immediate appropriate law prohibits any kind of discrimination in the Ukraine.
