You're reading: European Commission ready to work with any president of Ukraine

The European Commission is ready to cooperate with any candidate elected in the presidential elections in Ukraine, Katarina Mathernova, the Deputy Director-General for Neighborhood and Enlargement Negotiations at the European Commission, said in a comment to Hromadske.

She said it doesn’t matter whether Zelenskiy [showman Volodymyr Zelensky] or Poroshenko [incumbent President Petro Poroshenko] will be elected, they will work with any of them.

Mathernova said that Zelenskiy was not known in the political sphere, therefore, the voice of Ukrainian civil society should be especially heard and supported.

If there is Poroshenko’s second term, we know that the second term is still a slightly different mobilization, a new factor for civil society, she added.
