Today our country has a great historical chance to get closer to European standards of economic, social and cultural life, and we have no right to waste this chance. We all want to live in a civilized, lawful, developed and rich country with working legislation and observed human rights. We, representatives of environmental communities, know perfectly well what is corruption and non-transparency of authorities, lack of working legislation and access to justice in the sphere of environmental protection. It will take many years for Ukraine to recover from Chornobyl disaster while general level of environmental decline in Ukraine is catastrophic. Only European principles of the rule of law, democratic ruling and transparency of a decision-making process can help stop this fall into the abyss of ignorance of citizens’ rights and economic stagnation.
We demand that the President of Ukraine signs the Association Agreement on the summit in Vilnius. We also ask environmental NGOs and communities to do everything possible to help Ukraine realize its Eurointegration aspirations and become a dignified member of the European community.
