The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has stated that the full integration of Ukraine into the military and political structures of the Euro-Atlantic area is essential for long-term peace in Europe and North America.

Details: The Foreign Ministry stressed that Ukraine has been and remains an integral part of a united Europe, without which it is impossible to imagine the security architecture of the European continent.

Quote: "In this sense, Ukraine's full integration into the military-political structures of the Euro-Atlantic space is not only a requirement of the times, but a necessity for ensuring effective collective security and maintaining long-term peace in Europe and North America."

The ministry emphasised that Ukraine is already a key centre of strength in Europe today because it is the Ukrainian military, with the support of allies, that is holding back the Russian war machine, which poses an existential threat to the entire Euro-Atlantic community.

"We count on further increased support for the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ukraine's full integration into the European political and security architecture so that our joint efforts to end the war see success as soon as possible," the Foreign Ministry concludes.

Background:

• President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged the European Union to set the date of Ukraine's EU accession without delay so that Russia cannot block its membership for the next 50 years.
• European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa believe that Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine is steadily wearing Russia down and further pressure will force it to stop its aggression.
