‘European way of living is Ukraine’s approach house,’ Zelenskyy tells MEPs
“Slava Ukraini!” President Zelenskyy declared once he took the ground within the European Parliament, prompting any other status ovation from MEPs.
The Ukrainian chief then thanked the Parliament for its constant toughen right through the conflict.
“Europe is lucky that in this plenary, in the biggest parliament in Europe, in the European Parliament, a principled and energised approach enjoys an absolute majority,” he mentioned, talking in Ukrainian via a translator.
Zelenskyy then indexed the values often attributed to the “European way of life,” similar to pluralism, variety of opinion, equality, the correct to freely protest and territorial borders which can be “not violated”.
Put together, these make people have “trust and faith in tomorrow,” he said.
“This is our Europe, these are our rules, this is our way of life,” he mentioned. “And for Ukraine, it’s a way home.”
“I’m here to defend our people’s way home,” he added.
Russia, he went, is attempting to “annihilate the European way of life through war.”
