The presence of the leaders of the EU countries, and above all, Tusk, the Ukrainian authorities perceive as a signal of solidarity and support for their actions in the conflict with the separatists supported by Russia to the east of the country.
Before the march by Poroshenko invited guests watched the evidence of Russia’s military presence in the conflict in the eastern districts.
