Ukraine’s Future EU Membership and Financial Support: Volodymyr Zelenskyy Meets with the President and Leaders of European Parliament Political Groups

In Brussels, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the European Parliament, where he held talks with President Roberta Metsola and met with the chairs and co-chairs of political groups.

The Head of State acknowledged Roberta Metsola’s personal leadership and the strong voice of the European Parliament in supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression, as well as on the path toward EU membership.

“I am grateful to every Member of the European Parliament for supporting our country. I count on the continued leadership of the European Parliament in providing Ukraine with the necessary assistance to speed up victory over Russian terror and in the process of integration into the EU,” he emphasized.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy also expressed gratitude for all the resolutions of the European Parliament in support of Ukraine, particularly the latest ones calling for the immediate lifting of restrictions on the use of Western weapons against legitimate military targets on Russian territory.

Additionally, Ukraine expects a strong resolution from the European Parliament on the occasion of the 1000th day since the start of Russia's full-scale aggression.

The President noted that Ukraine expects the European Parliament to soon approve an act to provide €35 billion using the proceeds from frozen Russian assets.

The European Parliament's support for the Peace Formula was also among the main topics of the discussions.
