Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has urged lawmakers on Thursday to pass the remaining bills, which are required for the introduction of the visa-free regime with the EU.

"The way out of the parliamentary-governmental crisis requires swift and decisive actions, but this crisis should in no way hinder the European integration of Ukraine. We have just one day, more precisely an evening, to adopt the remaining few bills that open the door for Ukrainian citizens to the visa-free travel to the EU," the head of state said in a statement addressed to members of parliament issued on Thursday.
