We are here to admire your courage, admire your fight,
in which you are destroying the myth of the invincible Russian army.
We are here because you are also fighting our fight.
You're not only defending your homeland,
you're not only defending the territory of Ukraine and Europe,
you're also defending fundamental European values.
Freedom, democracy, every person's right
to choose their own life and every country's right
to be sovereign and to choose its own path.
We are doing everything in our capacity
to help you and the refugees coming from Ukraine.
We are totally aware that the most important thing
is to help Ukraine with defensive and offensive weapons
for them to be able to defend the land, the sea and the sky.
We are also here to deliver the message of European unity,
the unity inside the European Union,
which is a complicated family with 27 members.
The unity in supporting your fight and your sovereignty
has been achieved in a very short time,
if we compare this situation with some historic situations.
We are also here to tell you to be brave.
Ukraine is a European country, every path in Ukraine is European.
We will do everything in our power
for these paths to also become EU membership paths.
We strongly support
the candidate status for Ukraine to be delivered as soon as possible.
Not only as a concrete step of support,
but also as a message to those who invaded Ukraine
that you are a part of our family
and that our family is prepared to defend and support Ukraine.
I think that currently
it's no question that
the country which is defending the European values the most
is Ukraine.
And suddenly, inside of the European Union,
where we are speaking about all kinds of fundamental values,
we realized that such values actually exist.
There are Europeans who are fighting for them,
defending them with their own lives in Ukraine.
This is why the mood inside the EU member countries
has changed significantly.
This is a key moment.
Hundreds of thousands of people are coming to European squares
and streets to support you.
You are not alone, you are a part of the family.
Stay brave. You will win. Together we will prevail. Thank you.
