KYIV. UkraineGate , 31 , March| Political news .
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called on the Belgian parliament and people to insist on a dialogue with other European countries on providing military assistance to Ukraine to fight the occupiers. The head of state emphasized this in his video address to the country .
Quote
“You have already warmly welcomed more than 30,000 Ukrainians who left their homes because of this war. But it is you, as the heart of Europe, who can inspire all other Europeans to do more. To help us expel the occupiers from Ukraine and restore the precious peace, “Zelensky stressed.
Details
The President noted that Ukrainian defenders deserve to be able to join the European Union, as well as close the skies over Ukraine to Russian aircraft.
“When we talk about planes, tanks, artillery systems, anti-ship weapons, we are talking about what is really needed. And what is in the countries of the European Union, in the countries of NATO. Our defenders deserve that European companies finally stop making money along with those who are trying to destroy us. Our defenders deserve not to think about the criteria, but to know that Ukraine will be a member of the European Union. Because if they lose, if we lose Mariupol and other Ukrainian cities, there will be no more strong European Union. Because tyranny will come to take away from you what you own and are proud of, ”he added.
Addition
In February, Belgium provided 3,000 submachine guns and 200 anti-tank grenade launchers to Ukraine to fight the occupiers.
The foreign ministries of Belgium and the Netherlands have also decided to send 38 Russian diplomats.
