According to Poroshenko, Ukrainian delegates have recently taken part in a NATO Parliamentary Assembly session and a U.S.-Ukraine Strategic Partnership Commission meeting.
"It was clearly stated during the meetings that the doors of NATO for Ukraine are open, everything depends on you [Ukraine] – implement reforms, change the country, and everything will be fine. The same case is with the EU," the president said.
"A lot of our opponents hope and want us to give up and lose faith in victory. This will not happen," Poroshenko said.
