Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has appointed Mykola Tochytskyi as Ukraine's representative to the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community concurrently.

The president signed all the relevant orders, his press service said on Thursday.

By another order Tochytskyi was designated as Ukraine's Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador to the Kingdom of Belgium.

Tochytskyi's previous position was the permanent representative to the Council of Europe, and he was dismissed from that post by a separate order.

In 2010-2015, Ukraine's mission to the European Union was headed by Kostiantyn Yeliseyev, who on July 15, 2015, was appointed deputy head of Ukraine's presidential administration.
