“We will move at an extremely fast pace. We looked at how other countries have gone about this. It took 5, 7, and 8 years. We aim to finish this path in two years and realize our goal – to be a full-fledged part of the European Union.”
The Prime Minister stressed that Ukraine had defended its civilizational choice and would continue to move toward the West.
“After two hundred days of bloody fighting, the main conclusion is that Ukraine won strategically. We won for our freedom and democracy. We won our strategic vector in Europe. Russia lost strategically. They stuck to their Soviet-style existence, their propaganda, and their imperial ambitions, which we won’t allow them to realize.”
The Prime Minister thanked the Armed Forces of Ukraine and all Ukrainian military personnel for providing the opportunity to talk and plan for a successful European Future for Ukraine.
