According to him, the destroyed Mariupol is today “a symbol of Ukrainian and European heroism, the struggle for freedom and independence, peace and security.”

Together with Antonio Costa, Prime Minister of Portugal we will give this hope to Ukraine. We will try to make Ukraine’s path to the EU clear and full of concreteness, we are working on this together.”
