In the European Union do not support the idea of ??early elections in Ukraine, said Deputy Director General of the Directorate of NEAR (Neighborhood and EU enlargement) in the structure of the European Commission Katarina Maternova.

"The European Union supports the current government because it is committed to carrying out reforms, and we hope that it will be able to work until the end of the mandate, continuing the changes in the country. I do not think that the holding of early elections will benefit Ukraine, "she said in an interview with" Ukrayinska Pravda ", answering the correspondent's question.

According to Maternova, today Ukraine needs the stability of the government much more.

"If you hear from someone that the EU now has support for early elections in Ukraine, it's not even" alternative facts ", it's just not true. In none of the European discussions, nor in one of the institutions have I heard even hints of this. Early elections can not be in the interests of the European Union, since they inevitably lead to a halt to the reforms and will bring political instability, "concluded the representative of the European Commission.
