Dear Ursula @vonderleyen, Thank you for always believing in us. And we are walking this path together. The application, candidate status, accession negotiations, opening of two clusters and every one that follows – that’s definitely going to happen. Yet long before any of this, it had already become clear that the hearts of Ukraine and Europe had long been open to one another. Opening all the clusters will simply formalize this. We are certain of it. Because Ukraine and Europe are one. And on this difficult path, Ukraine is not alone. Ukraine deeply values everyone who helps us move forward along this road. And we will always remember their contribution to our shared future. As of today, these are no longer just words – this has now been officially recognized. I have signed the relevant law. And it is a great honor to present you here today with Ukraine’s first Order of Europe. From an address on Ukrainian Statehood Day – the Day of the Baptism of Kyivan Rus–Ukraine. (5/5)
