Selenski speaks before the European Parliament

Selenski thanks the Europeans

In an emotional speech in the European Parliament, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy thanked the EU citizens for their support in the fight against Russia. The 45-year-old said in Brussels on Thursday that the MEPs’ applause in the plenum was not aimed at himself, but at everyone in the towns and villages who supported Ukraine.

He thanked for the supply of arms and ammunition, of fuel and energy, of all the thousands of things “we need in this brutal war”. “Ukraine is defending itself against Russia together with Europe,” Zelensky said. Together they are “the greatest anti-European force in the modern world.” He thanked Parliament for condemning the war soon after the invasion began and for advocating for Ukraine to become a candidate for EU membership. It’s about defending the European-Ukrainian way of life, said Zelenski.
