Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ”welcomed” the President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola in Kiev, ”on Europe Day, which celebrates a peaceful and united Europe”. Zelensky himself writes this on ‘X’ explaining that ”we are working together to strengthen our position in protecting the lives of Ukraine, our region and Europe as a whole”. The Ukrainian leader underlined that ”now, seventy-nine years after the defeat of Nazism, our Europe, unfortunately, has once again become a battlefield where the fate of not only our Ukrainian nation, but of many others is decided nations”.
And, he added, ”in this battle life must prevail. Life must prevail over the bombs, missiles, assaults and Russian hatred that disrupt the lives of millions of Ukrainians and target the lives of millions of other Europeans. It is essential not to be alone in this battle and to enjoy the solidarity of many free nations and courageous and principled people.”
