Pope Benedict XVI sees Ukraine as an integral part of the European community, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has said.“The Pope believes that Europe has two lungs. One is Eastern Europe and the other is Western Europe. As long as Ukraine is not a full-fledged participant of the European community, Europe will not breathe easily,” Tymoshenko said while addressing the alumni of the National University of Ostroh in Rivne region on Tuesday.
Tymoshenko said that Pope Benedict XVI told her this during a one-on-one meeting in Vatican last Friday.
