The Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko emphasizes that the decentralization reform is being implemented in accordance with the public opinion, President Petro Poroshenko Press Office reports.
«Over 70% of Ukrainians support the constitutional amendments on decentralization and I, as President, will be together with the people of Ukraine,» Poroshenko said commenting on the constitutional amendments vote at the Parliament.
«It is the first reason of reforms. The second reason is the fulfillment of our obligations under the Minsk agreements,» the President said noting that under the Minsk agreements, Ukraine is obliged to adopt respective constitutional amendments by the end of the year.

«We will struggle to finally achieve peace in the country. There is a very fragile hope, but there have been no shelling and killing of our defenders in the east for 5 days already. At the same time, our warriors find it difficult to understand why they have to die in Kyiv,» the President referred to the events that had occurred near the walls of the Parliament, when the National Guard warriors were attacked by the protesters.
