The Ukrainian president thanked Europe for its support during his country's war effort, and said Kyiv would soon join the EU. 'We are moving closer to the European Union ... Victorious Ukraine will be a member of the victorious European Union,' Zelenskiy said. 

The president of the European parliament, Roberta Metsola, told Zelenskiy Europe would continue to show solidarity with Ukraine through further humanitarian and military support. 'We have your back, we were with you then, we are with you now. We will be with you for as long as it takes,' she said.
