Ukraine's integration to west
Ukraine has the right to determine its own future
"Ukrainians
have bravely kept on defending their country and independence for
almost two years. Russia’s illegal and unprovoked war of aggression
against Ukraine has permanently changed the European security order.
Ukraine is fighting not only for its very existence and freedom but also
for our common values: democracy, rule of law, human rights and respect
for international law."
Elina Valtonen
Minister for Foreign Affairs
Finland
The world has the power to help Ukraine win the war
"The
people of Ukraine are right now bearing the brunt of Russia’s horrific
violence in the large-scale aggression that has lasted for two
years. However, Russia’s wider war is against all of us who wish to live
freely in a rules-based world of sovereign states. This war did not
start in Ukraine and, if the world makes the same mistakes it has
previously made in its dealings with Russia, then it will not end in
Ukraine either."
Margus Tsahkna
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Estonia
Ukraine forging its future towards the EU
"A
decade ago, Ukrainians took to the streets in protest of the decision
to abandon the EU–Ukraine Association Agreement, aimed to forge closer
political and economic ties. The Euromaidan events clearly manifested
the “European choice” and how the people of Ukraine see themselves and
their country."
