Ukrainian political observer Taras Chernovil on his Facebook page wrote that on Wednesday at the level of ambassadors of the EU member states the visa-free regime for Ukrainians was approved. According to the expert, this is a marker decision, because after the vote in the European Parliament the only way to stop the decision was to get the so-called qualified majority in the EU Council.
As Taras Chernovil writes, the decision of the Council of the European Union needs the support of 55% of the member states representing at least 65% of the EU population, and the veto on all issues except taxes and defense does not apply. After the ambassadors vote, the distribution of votes is clearly visible, because they represent the position of their countries, that is, the same Council. Based on the vote, we can state that for us now everything is positive.
"I can not even imagine what else could prevent the introduction of visa liberalization for us in June. But I know very well that all these Russian repeaters will be telling us, fans of empty gossip, populists and other evil spirits. They will actively persuade us that we do not need this at all and we did not want any visa-free regimes with Europe, and we do not need that Europe, "the expert concluded..
