Oleksandr Turchynov: A true European integration – it is to start building the European home in Ukraine

A true European integration - it is to start building Europe in Ukraine by ourselves, despite the war and the economic crisis.

This was stated by NSDC Secretary Oleksandr Turchynov during the opening ceremony of the kindergarten in a new, modern residential complex, where officers of Ministry of Internal Affairs and participants of ATO will receive flats.

"Several apartments here will be given to National Guard servicemen who were seriously injured yesterday by the hands of mercenaries, provocateurs and terrorists", - he said. According to him, even during war and economic crisis it is possible to build facilities that meet the best world standards. "Our future is in our own hands so, without waiting for someone to come and take us to Europe by the hand, It is high time to start building European home here by own strength."

Oleksandr Turchynov stated that the kindergarten, which has opened today, was designed and equipped according to the latest European standards and "doesn't trail them, and maybe even leaves them behind". NSDC Secretary stressed that services of this kindergarten will be free of charge for children of participants of ATO.
