… " I would like to thank you for your courage. The ‘Heavenly Hundred’ have entered the pantheon of not only Ukrainian, but European heroes. And to all the mothers of the fallen, I want to promise you that Europe will remember your children. The lesson in courage that you gave the whole world that February five years ago has changed us all. Ukraine has shown that it is worth being courageous and decent, that good can prevail over evil, that heroism can be something more than merely a show of morals, that it can be the key to victory. You gave to many people around the world, to the humiliated and enslaved, the greatest gift: hope – that for them too, for those who now are weak, that day of victory will come"…

I would like to thank you for your Europeanness. I will always remember seeing the blue flags with their yellow stars on Khreshchatyk during the revolution, the ‘Ode to Joy’ playing then in so many places across Ukraine. I often say to my colleagues in Brussels: do not teach them Europe; learn from them what Europe means. Today I would like to repeat to you the words I once said to EU leaders: only those who stand with Ukraine can truly call themselves European.

Those who are willing to sell out Ukraine are selling out the future of Europe. It is no accident that politicians who question European integration typically also question the integrity of Ukraine. Tell me what you think about Ukraine, and you will be telling me what you think about Europe.

When we Poles started on our road to Europe, Pope John Paul II told the world: ‘There can be no just Europe without an independent Poland’. And so today I want to say that there can be no just Europe without an independent Ukraine. That there can be no safe Europe without a safe Ukraine. To put it simply: there can be no Europe without Ukraine!
 
Considering the current situation, I agree. May God watch over the Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.
