Viacheslav Kyrylenko believes in eastern Ukraine we protect the whole Europe

"We must get back the stolen land, including Crimea, and restore the territorial integrity of the country. This means that we will face a long period of struggle," Viacheslav Kyrylenko said in an interview with Polish Radio Trojka during a working visit to Poland, adding that Russian aggression strengthened the unity of the Ukrainian people. "Donbas and Crimea should be returned to Ukraine," the Vice Prime Minister emphasized.

Viacheslav Kyrylenko also thanked for the support provided for Ukraine by Western partners. "We are grateful to Poland, Lithuania and other countries. We know that these countries understand us, because they know what Russian imperialism, chauvinism and aggression represent," the Vice Prime Minister said. "In the East we protect not only our country. We protect there the whole Europe and European values," Viacheslav Kyrylenko noted.
