EU ministers’ meeting in Kyiv will accelerate Ukraine’s European integration, - Kuleba
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba expressed confidence that the meeting of EU foreign ministers currently taking place in Kyiv would accelerate Ukraine’s European integration.
He said this when opening the first panel of the plenary meeting of EU foreign ministers, Censor.NET reports citing Interfax-Ukraine.
"I am convinced that this meeting will accelerate Ukraine's European integration," the minister said.
The Ukrainian foreign minister stressed that every time the EU and its member states made unprecedented decisions, Europe won. He expressed gratitude for the strong and firm support of Ukraine by European colleagues since the first days of the full-scale invasion.
"Today, there is no more important goal than to ensure a convincing victory for Ukraine. This war must end in a just and lasting peace in accordance with President Zelensky's Peace Formula. This is a difficult task. But it is the only way to a free and peaceful Europe," Kuleba said.
He stressed that Russian aggression against Ukraine cannot end in a draw.
"The aggression must be defeated. The perpetrators must be punished. Justice, freedom and dignity must prevail. We cannot afford scepticism, fatigue, half-decisions or quitting. So we continue, we continue: there is no other future for the peoples of Europe but in unity with Ukraine," the minister said.
