We will not look away when those fighting in the streets for our values face down Putin's massive war machine,' Metsola said, according to NPR. 'The message from Europe is clear: We will stand up. On Tuesday, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola 'officially welcomed Ukraine's application to join' the 27-nation bloc. Zelenskyy's comments came a day after he signed an official application for Ukraine's membership in the European Union. Several buildings, including a government building, were damaged. Zelenskyy was referring to a large explosion Monday that occurred at 'Freedom Square' in the city of Kharkiv. 'Every square of today - no matter what it's called - is going to be called today 'Freedom Square,' in every city of our country nobody's going to break us. 'We're fighting just for our land and for our freedom, despite the fact that all the cities of our country are now blocked, nobody is going to enter and intervene with our freedom and country, believe you me,' Zelenskyy said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered a passionate plea via videolink directly to EU officials in which he called for support and urged the Russian military to leave Ukraine.Īccording to The Guardian, Zelenskyy asked leaders of the bloc to 'prove that you are with us' and appealed to them to help 'light win over darkness.'
