DISINFO: Ukraine's MFA accuses the EU of betrayal

SUMMARY

Ukraine’s MFA accuses the EU of betrayal. The source for these claims is an interview that Ukraine’s Deputy Foreign Minister for European Integration Olena Zerkal gave to the British newspaper Financial Times.

RESPONSE

While visa free travel for Ukrainians has in principle been agreed upon with the EU, it has yet to officially begin. Ms. Zerkal was simply expressing frustration with the process; she was not accusing the EU of betrayal. More details from StopFake.
