According to him, from the very first days of the full-scale war until today, Europe has stood with Ukraine, "and this is not charity – it is a choice made by Europeans: to stand on the same side as the brave and the strong – the Ukrainians who are fighting today for peace and true protection against tyranny, not only for themselves, but for the entire continent."

"And we will inevitably defend our state, our people, and our right to freely choose our future – a future in Europe," Zelensky said.
