Devastation in Dnipro: Eight Killed in Russian Airstrike
A Russian airstrike on the city of Dnipro in central Ukraine has resulted in the loss of at least eight lives and left 21 individuals wounded
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said his country will be able to meet EU accession criteria in up to 5 years.
In Poroshenko's words quoted by UNIAN news agency, integration into the 28-nation bloc is the government's main goal.
The President made his remarks during his meeting with top EU officials including European Council President Donald Tusk and EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. Both Tusk and Barroso attended a conference dedicated to Ukraine's recovery held in Kiev on Tuesday, apart from holding a private conversation with the head of state.
Brussels is currently reluctant to offering Ukraine any prospects of becoming a EU member in the next decade, with a free trade agreement to enter into force next year instead.
On Monday, EU officials also turned down his proposal that a military mission should be sent to Eastern Ukraine's Donbass region, where pro-Russian activists have been fighting Kiev forces for more than a year.
Meanwhile, the US said it is planning to grant an additional USD 2 B to the country, which is struggling to avoid a financial collapse.
Aid, however, is tied to crucial economic reforms, as US Vice President Joe Biden warned in a video address during the conference.
