The start of a visa-free regime with the European Union has become a mental break for Ukrainians.

This in an interview with the "Observer" said the Ambassador of Ukraine in the Czech Republic, Yevgeny Perebiynis.

"The introduction of a visa-free regime is a mental turning point and an event that can be compared with the most important milestones in our recent history. It's not just a technical solution, it's much more. "Visa-free" gives Ukrainians a sense of freedom, mental involvement in the European environment. Visa-free regime is an opportunity for millions of Ukrainians to see with their own eyes how Europe works, how European values ??work, "Perabiinis said..

According to him, all attempts to diminish the importance of the visa-free regime that are coming from Moscow are erroneous.

"For example, they say that Ukrainians do not have money, so they still will not go anywhere, but it's not like that. Even young people, students, having a biometric passport, can afford a bus ticket for several tens of euros. Visa-free regime will help increase the support of Ukrainians for the European integration direction, "the ambassador concluded..

As reported by the "Observer", the West showed how "visa-free" brought the Russians to hysteria.
