The establishment of a constitutional commission in Ukraine ushers in a new stage of the country's constitutional reform, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said.

“The signing of this decree heralds a new and increasingly crucial stage of the constitutional reform. The launch of these efforts will be a lengthy, important and necessary process,” Poroshenko was quoted as saying on March 3 by his press service.

“We must preserve the unity and integrity of Ukraine. We should leave no chance for those who seek so-called federalization, which actually means a break-up of Ukraine,” he said.
