Head of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Ruslan Stefanchuk spoke at the meeting of the parliamentary committees of the House of representatives of the Kingdom of Belgium.
During the speech, the Head noted that the further expansion of the EU, primarily at the expense of Ukraine, will be a decisive answer to Moscow, that Europe will pass the current difficult test with dignity and will only become stronger.
Now is the time for historic decisions.
An even more necessary and important decision should be to invite Ukraine to join the North Atlantic Alliance — in the interests of the European continent and the entire democratic world.
For 644 days of the war, Ukraine has been proving that it is worthy of being a NATO member state. And russia has no veto right. Ukraine in NATO is a major contribution to the security and defense of all countries that are part of the most powerful defense association in the world.
Thank you for your solidarity with Ukraine at an important time of confrontation with the russian aggressor.
