Zelensky underlines importance of Europe Day

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday harassed the significance of Europe Day, which is widely known on May 9 yearly.

While in Russia the victory over Nazi Germany was celebrated nationwide with parades and varied occasions on the identical day, Zelensky addressed what he thought of the extra necessary Europe Day in his night video tackle.

“Today, May 9, we celebrate Europe Day together with the whole of free Europe to honour an achievement that would not have been possible without the victory over Nazism,” he stated.

May 9 commemorates French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman’s declaration in 1950 on the founding of the European Coal and Steel Community, which later turned the European Union. Since 1985, at the present time has been marked with celebrations and festivities all through Europe.

“We would not have such a united Europe – a Europe without aggression and revanchism, a Europe that respects different cultures, that resolves disputes exclusively on the basis of the rule of law and that is proud of the diversity on our continent,” Zelensky continued.

Zelensky mentally linked the day of commemoration and victory over National Socialism in World War II on May 8 with Europe Day that follows.

“Europe as a dream come true of a peaceful continent.” And it was solely a matter of time earlier than Ukraine, too, was capable of restore a sustainable and simply peace for this a part of Europe, he added.
