KYIV. UkraineGate , 15 , June , 2022 | Political News.
Ukraine must get everything to win – including EU membership. This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky during an address to both chambers of the Czech Parliament and to all Czechs .
Quote
“The Czech presidency of the European Union will begin in a few weeks. And at this time there will be no less challenges before us, before the whole of Europe, than now. But they are transforming … We have to agree on the seventh package of sanctions against Russia for this aggression, for this war. And we also have to move on to the reconstruction of Ukraine – the entire liberated territory, “- said the President.
Details
According to him, when the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic visited Kyiv in March, he became one of the first European leaders who boldly showed that “Europe is and will be together with Ukraine.”
“And I believe that the Czech Republic will be among the leaders in the implementation of the largest economic and infrastructural project of our time – the Ukrainian reconstruction. This is a special opportunity to show all the strength of Europe – technological, institutional, creative. We must ensure full synchronization of the Ukrainian National Reconstruction Plan and the European Reconstruction Platform in order to implement them as efficiently and quickly as possible. I also invite you to join the reconstruction of Ukraine at the national level – taking patronage over one of the regions or cities, or communities, towns of Ukraine, which suffered from Russian aggression, “- said the President.
According to Zelensky, such a reconstruction will be the best proof that no aggression, no matter how brutal, will ever achieve its goals and will not be able to break any of the European nations, let alone Europe as a whole.
