Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has commented on the European Commission's decision to grant Ukraine candidate status, the minister wrote on Twitter, APA reports.

“On the same day, the European Commission recommends that Ukraine be granted candidate status for membership in the EU and the President of Ukraine decides to introduce a visa regime with Russia. We had not planned such a coincidence, history, like itself, decided to create symbols about where to go,” the minister stressed.
