[QUOTE][B]Ukrainians have celebrated the introduction of visa-free travel to the European Union with special events.[/B]
President Petro Poroshenko hailed the "fall of the paper curtain" at a gathering in the capital Kiev.
He also opened a symbolic visa-free door to Europe, and met Slovak President Andrej Kiska, at the Uzhgorod border checkpoint.
However, Ukrainians who want to work in the EU still need to obtain a working visa.[/QUOTE]

Well i wouldn't say massive since it's just small eastern part of the country that sees all the action. It has stalled into a stalemate.
But i wonder does this deal also allow europeans travel freely to ukraine? Anyways i think this is a good step forward both to Ukraine and EU.

Although the fighting remains relatively intense, it's confined to a very specific part of the country and the front moves very little.
Central and Western Ukraine have experienced virtually no combat or civil unrest, relative to the affected area. Western Ukraine is also the most, well, Westernized, and most able to take advantage of visa-free travel. This may also help Central Ukraine pick up business that it lost at the start of the civil war.
All in all, hooray for Ukraine.
