Details
Today is Europe Day. And Ukraine celebrates it not formally or as a mere slogan, but truly knowing that we are already an integral part of the European family. We are defending Ukraine, our independence, our future, and by doing so, we in Ukraine are defending our Europe, of which Ukraine has been and will be a part
It is emphasized that from the first days of the full-scale war until now, Europe has been with Ukraine, and this is not charity, but a conscious choice of Europeans – to be on the same side as the brave and the strong, with Ukrainian men and women who are fighting today for peace and true security from tyranny, not only for themselves but for the entire continent.
And we will certainly protect our state, our people, and our right to independently choose our future - a future in Europe
Recall
