The Verkhovna Rada will vote for the ratification of the Association Agreement with the European Union on Tuesday, reports GHN based on Ukrinform.
The ratification procedure will start simultaneously: in the Verkhovna Rada at 13.00 Kyiv time and in the European Parliament at 11.00 CET, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said at a meeting with the leaders of parliamentary factions and groups.
According to the president, the European Parliament held preparations for the ratification under a special shortened procedure. "The things that required three or four months of hard work in preparing for ratification in the European Parliament were done in a very short period of time - we spent only two weeks," Poroshenko said.
