He emphasized that Ukraine and Ukrainians deserve this, and that the EU also needs this step.

“And the Eurean Union needs this step not just pitically, as it is the lifeblood of the Eurean Union to be a Eurean project that leaves no one outside the EU, no one who truly professes Eurean values,” he said.

As reported, Eurean Parliament President Roberta Metza said that the Eurean Parliament would fully support Ukraine at all stages of its path to EU membership.
