Ukraine is strong in the face of external threats, problems can be inside, President of the European Council Donald Tusk has said.

"Today I can see clearly that you will not be defeated by an external enemy. You are too strong. You can only be defeated by yourselves. This is why you need to keep your unity at any cost, and avoid internal conflicts like the plague," he said at the Ukraine-EU summit in Kyiv on Thursday, July 13.

At the same time he said: "I am convinced that if you continue to be as determined, as courageous and as consistent as you were back then in Independence Square (Maidan), as you were during the battle for Ukraine's integrity, if you can withstand the burden of reforms and not give up, then you will reach your dreams and goals."
