In recent days, on the sidelines of the European Political Community Summit, we held productive meetings with our partners. Europe faces many challenges today, but there is only one effective response to them all – unity. Unity in every decision made for our collective defense. The PURL initiative and the SAFE instrument, security guarantees for Ukraine, pressure on Russia and the European Union’s new robust sanctions package, the use of frozen Russian assets, and the European future of Ukraine, Moldova, and the Western Balkans – we discussed all these issues in detail with every leader, and we count on full support. We also addressed relevant bilateral projects with each of them. Europe must be protected from any threats. Only joint action and combined efforts can guarantee real security. I am grateful to everyone who understands this and is ready to work in this way.(Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський)
