According to President Zelenskyy, the time from the decision to provide Ukraine with weapons to their arrival at the front line is measured in weeks and months, not kilometers, due to delays in deliveries, despite approved aid packages.

Zelenskyy outlined the main issues to be discussed at the Peace Summit in Switzerland. Among them are the exchange of prisoners, the return of abducted Ukrainian children and deported citizens, as well as nuclear and food security issues.

Ruslan Stefanchuk, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, met with Robert Metsola, President of the European Parliament, in an air raid shelter during her visit to Kyiv on Europe Day to discuss military support, Ukraine's EU membership bid, and support for parliamentary cooperation.

During a joint press conference between President Zelensky and European Parliament President Metzola in Kyiv, an air raid alarm sounded, revealing Russia's true attitude toward peace and the fight against Nazism.

During her visit to Kyiv, European Parliament President Roberta Mecola met with barista Maria, who continued to make coffee in a cafe damaged by russian shelling, demonstrating the resilience of the Ukrainian spirit.

The European Union does not recognize the so-called Russian elections, especially those held illegally in the occupied territories of Ukraine, and the new European Parliament is expected to take a strong position.

Putin is not going to stop, President Zelensky said.

President Zelenskyy and European Parliament President Mecola met in Kyiv to maximize efforts to protect lives in Ukraine and Europe from Russia's ongoing invasion and attacks.

After the air alert ended, the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Mecola, began her speech in the session hall of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on Europe Day.

Ukraine's path to EU accession will be difficult, but the European Parliament and the EU will help rebuild Ukraine's infrastructure and economy because Ukraine is Europe and Europe is Ukraine, said European Parliament President Roberta Metsola.

Ukraine is close to starting EU accession talks after fulfilling all the necessary requirements, and the negotiation phase is expected to begin in June, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Shared values and history make a country truly European, which is a true European strength that must be multiplied in order to protect life and values on the continent, to inherit a peaceful and united Europe to our children, and to defeat evil like Hitler and Putin.
