Details
I can definitely say that I have not had such conversations with anyone, neither in the government, nor in the parliament, nor anywhere else. What I can definitely confirm is that until the end of the year, at least, we have planned work both in the direction of European integration and in the direction of the Ministry of Justice, and on combining reforms in the field of the rule of law with our European integration path through the opening of negotiations. These are plans that are constantly being formed, implemented, and agreed upon at all levels. They also require coordination with the parliament, with the President of Ukraine. Therefore, we have work, we have plans, no one has personally had such conversations with me. Perhaps these are just rumors
