EU membership is best way for Ukraine’s stability and security – von der Leyen

Eurean Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said this at the EU Ambassadors Conference 2023 in Brussels on Monday, November 6, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"The best way to give Ukraine stability and prosperity in the mid and long term is membership in the Eurean Union. To make Ukraine recover – Eure is the answer. To strengthen Ukraine's democracy even further – Eure is the answer. To protect Ukraine from future interferences – Eure is again the answer," von der Leyen said.

According to her, as much as accession to the EU is important to Ukraine, the reverse is also true – the enlargement process is important to the Eurean Union itself.

"In a world where size and weight matter, it is clearly in Eure's geostrategic interest to complete our Union. With over 500 million pele living in a free, democratic and prosperous Union. History is calling again, so it is for our generation to answer this call," she added, addressing the heads of EU diplomatic missions.

The EU continues to provide Ukraine with substantial pitical, diplomatic, economic, financial, humanitarian and military assistance in the fight against the Russian invasion. Since February 2022, the EU and its member states have provided more than EUR 82 billion in support to Ukraine.
