The EU-Ukraine Summit is important for Kyiv, as it will allow the newly elected EU leadership to take "a mental decision" on support for Ukraine, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has said.

"Let me remind you that this will be the first summit after the change in the European Commission membership, the EU leadership. People, who will come to the summit, will lead the EU during the next five years, and in this sense the summit is very important," Klimkin said in an interview with the Yevropeiska Pravda edition (the European Truth).

He stressed that there is a consensus in the EU on the need to support Ukraine, its territorial integrity, the inviolability of borders and reforms.

"But whether the EU and each separate EU state is ready to go all the way no matter what it would cost politically and economically – this is really a question," Klimkin said.

The EU-Ukraine summit will be held in Kyiv on April 27.
