President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with the heads of parliamentary delegations from European countries that took part in the Bucha Summit.
The key topics of discussion were Ukraine’s integration into the European Union, defense cooperation, the restoration of justice, and the negotiation process aimed at achieving a dignified peace.
“Thank you so much for your visit, for your support – your countries, your governments, your leaders, and, of course, your peoples. First of all, people who have supported us from the very beginning of this war. We are grateful to all parliamentary delegations. You voted for a lot of important things, important resolutions supporting us, and of course, we felt from the very beginning of this war that we are not alone because of you. Thank you so much,” the Head of State said.
During the meeting, they discussed our country’s European integration and the importance of unblocking the negotiation clusters. The President noted that Ukraine’s membership in the European Union is an important security guarantee for our country and for all of Europe.
They also discussed in detail building systematic cooperation in defense production, where the experience and expertise of Ukrainians in protecting lives should play a key role.
Particular attention was paid to restoring justice and bringing home all captives and children abducted by Russia. Volodymyr Zelenskyy informed the participants about the joint work with partners in this area and contacts with the American team. The Head of State noted that the trilateral meeting of delegations had been postponed due to the war in the Middle East, but a conversation involving American representatives will take place tomorrow.
Representatives of the parliaments of Austria, Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, the United Kingdom, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Germany, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Finland, Croatia, as well as the parliamentary assemblies of NATO and the OSCE, took part in the meeting.
