For us, Europe is not just geography, but what we feel inside: the right to think freely, respect for each of us, and the very dignity that no one can take away from us.

We are currently going through incredible trials, and every Ukrainian — from a soldier to a volunteer — proves every day that we are the same living, strong Europe. We hold this shield for the entire European space, and the price for this, unfortunately, is very high.

We are very grateful to all the European countries and peoples who have supported us. It gives us the strength to move forward. Being part of the European family is our conscious choice in favor of peace, development, and justice.

There is still a lot of work ahead, but we believe: Ukraine will stand firm. We will definitely win and take our rightful place among European nations - as equals among equals.
