10 years ago, Ukrainians with the flags of Ukraine and the European Union came out to the Revolution of Dignity to defend our European choice.

655 days ago, on 28 February 2022, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi, myself and the Prime Minister signed the application for EU membership. At a time when the enemy was mercilessly bombing our cities, launching a full-scale invasion.

Today, Ukraine is one step closer to full membership in the European Union!

This is a historic decision. And we are paying an extremely high price for this decision.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine, our warriors, prove every day what a victorious struggle for a free future and a free Ukraine is.

For the fact that there will be no russia in Ukraine.

And for Ukraine to be in a free Europe.

I am grateful to our defenders for their daily defence of Ukraine and our choice.

I thank all European leaders for today's unity.

I thank the President of Ukraine for his leadership, the Ukrainian Parliament for its unity and speed, and the Government for its efficiency. I thank everyone who has made and will continue to make efforts for Ukraine's full membership in the EU.

And, of course, I thank the courageous Ukrainian people!
The people whose "truth has never been conquered by anyone".
A united people. An unbreakable people. The victorious people!

The Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Ruslan Stefanchuk
