Ashton Says EU Ready to Support Ukraine Reform, Investigate Violence

The European Union's foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said on Wednesday that Brussels was ready to provide support for Ukraine's constitutional reform plans and help investigate alleged abuses committed during two months of protests.

"We have the capacity to provide support," Ashton told reporters after holding talks with Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.

She also gave a downbeat assessment of the situation in Ukraine.

"I really need to feel a growing sense of momentum on this. We still need a lot more work," she told reporters.
