Ukraine will present the president's peace plan for resolving the situation in the east of the country at the EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting in Luxembourg on June 23, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said.

“I believe that on June 23 you will be expected in Luxembourg at a
meeting of the EU foreign ministers, where we will present a peace plan
for Ukraine,” Poroshenko said while introducing the newly appointed
foreign minister, Pavlo Klimkin, on June 19.

In turn, Klimkin said the implementation of the peace plan was one of his priorities.

“Our priorities are clear: these are the implementation of the peace
plan and European integration. I have always said that for me the
association agreement and many other issues of the European vector are
not mere bureaucratic matters, but my personal convictions,” the
minister said.

He has expressed the hope that together with the Foreign Ministry’s
diplomatic team he would be able to fulfill all the tasks set out by the
president

These tasks include reforming the Foreign Ministry and turning it from a post-Soviet structure into a real European one.
