Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko expects the European Union to make a positive decision on visa liberalization for Ukraine in early October this year.

This is the confirmation we have the common interest," he said at the 13th annual meeting of the Yalta European Strategy "The World, Europe and Ukraine: Storms of Change" in Kyiv on Friday morning.
