Volodymyr Zelenski published a very important message for the entire European Union after the Council of Europe decided to grant his country the status of a candidate country for joining the European Union, an extremely important measure for its future, especially in the context of the war with Russia .
Volodymyr Zelensky talks below about the significance of this important decision, which has an impact not only for Ukraine, but for all of Europe, so that many countries can benefit from it, if the accession of Ukraine will be completed by the country during the next few years.
"One of the most important decisions for Ukraine for all 30 years of independence of our state. However, this decision is not only for Ukraine. This is the biggest step towards strengthening Europe that could be taken right now, in our time, and precisely in the context of the Russian war, which is testing our ability to preserve freedom and unity.
We thank the summit of all European leaders. We thank our heroes - each and every one who defends the independence of Ukraine and the freedom of Europe with arms in hand. Thank you! Thank you for making possible the new history of Europe - even stronger, and freer. Glory to Ukraine!
It is officially recognized: Ukraine is not a bridge, it is not a cushion between the West and Russia, it is not a buffer between Europe and Asia, it is not a sphere of influence, it is not a "gray" zone, it is not a transit territory. Not the border between orcs and elves. Ukraine is a future equal partner for at least 27 EU countries. Ukraine is a candidate for joining the European Union!"
