22 years after gaining your independence, you Ukrainians decided to say: "We are European".
So today, I have come to Ukraine to tell the people of Ukraine: "We are all Ukrainians".
We decided to grant EU candidate status to Ukraine.
Ukraine is the EU. And the EU is Ukraine.
I have one dream. I dream that one day a Ukrainian will hold my job as President of the European Council. Or as President of the European Parliament. Or President of the Commission.
Churchill used freedom and hope as a weapon to defeat the Nazis.
Mandela used his prison cell as a symbol of spiritual liberty to transform his country.
Today @ZelenskyyUa embodies 🇺🇦’s spirit of national resistance.
You will win because of this spirit & because you are not alone
The EU is not asking anyone to choose between East and West, North or South. But there is a choice to be made.
The EU's choice is respect for borders, rather than aggression. It's cooperation rather than threat. It's rules-based order, rather than the law of the strongest. #UNGA
When a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council starts an unprovoked and unjustifiable war, a war condemned by the UN General Assembly, its suspension from the Security Council should be automatic.
There are other crises in the world, in many other places, where human madness, instability or insecurity bring misery, sadness and pain. The EU has not forgotten.
We wish to remain a committed player in humanitarian & political support and resolve differences through dialogue.
