Zelenskyy addresses European Parliament: Ukraine is defending itself against biggest anti-European force in modern world

Zelenskyy said in his speech to the European Parliament on February 9.

"We are defending ourselves against the most anti-European force in the modern world. We are defending ourselves. We, Ukrainians, are on the battlefield with you. I thank you for the fact that we are defending ourselves together! And we must defend ourselves! And this is important not only for European countries. Not only for the communities of Europe. No matter who we are, we always fight against contempt. Wherever we live, we always rely on good faith. Whatever we dream of for our children, for our grandchildren, the unconditional background for these dreams is peace - peace and security," he said.

The President emphasized that peace and security will not be possible unless Russia is defeated.

“It is only our victory that will guarantee all of this - each of our common European values. Our imperative victory!" the Ukrainian leader emphasized.
