U.S., EU should determine Ukraine as priority – Yatseniuk

Ukrainian Premier Arseniy Yatseniuk has said that United States and European Union should regard Ukraine in priority since the latter struggles not just for its independence.

"United States is attempting to address the concerns in the world. EU is addressing its concerns, and they have their own national political plans. That's why it is very important that Ukraine to be of top priority for EU and U.S.," Yatseniuk said at the 12th annual meeting of Yalta European Strategy (YES) in Kyiv on Saturday.

According to him, Russia revolts not just against Ukraine, but against the world.

"Ukraine is a battle field, where Russian president is fighting against the whole world. This is our common struggle for freedom and dignity of the person," Yatseniuk said.
