Addressing the audience, the Ukrainian leader said about his ambitious plans after the end of his presidential term, and country's intentions to become a member of the EU.

"It does not matter whether the European states are ready to adopt Ukraine, or not. I insist: the EU will not be able to survive without Ukraine," he claimed.

Poroshenko believes that democracy has been already developed in Ukraine and thus, the EU is obliged to adopt it. Poroshenko himself wishes to become a member of the EU Parliament.

"I was once asked what I would like to do after the end of the presidential term. I responded that I wished to be a member of the European Parliament," the Ukrainian president admitted.
