The President also said that any European country that shares the values of the European Union (EU) and that protects them should not remain outside the unity of the EU.
Also, Zelensky emphasized that the Balkan countries and Moldova are also part of Europe, and he is sure that Georgia and Belarus will also celebrate Europe Day.
To show support for Ukraine, the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsol, also arrived in Kyiv on Thursday. She visited the parliament and the presidential palace and met with the highest officials in Ukraine.
At the main station of Kyiv, the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, Ruslan Stefanchuk, greeted Metsol, with flowers in his hands. She then held a press conference with President Volodymyr Zelensky, but it had to be canceled due to an air defense alert.
