Member of the European Parliament (MEP) and former Foreign Minister of Estonia Urmas Paet and ten more MEPs have proposed that High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini appoints the EU special representative for Ukraine in the near term.

Paet said in a statement for media that the appointment of the EU special representative will be strong political news not only for Ukraine, but also for Russia.

He said that the European Union will continue supporting Ukraine in reforms and in the case of consequences of Russian aggression.

The initiators of the idea proposed that among functions of the special representative could be provision of aid in peaceful settling of the military conflict, monitoring of the implementation of reforms and coordination of aid provided by the EU.
