The Fourth Crimea Platform Summit: Charles Michel, the President of the European Council

“The European Union supports just peace because the UN Charter must be the backbone of international law. We support President Zelenskyy’s Peace Formula, as well as the rules-based international order, and we firmly support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine”, Charles Michel, the President of the European Council, said.

Charles Michel, the President of the European Council, firmly believes that the war in Ukraine began in 2014 with the occupation of Crimea by Russian troops. The speaker reaffirmed the European Union’s respect for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, emphasized the need to comply with international law, and stated that the EU would continue to provide comprehensive support to Ukrainians.

“Dear Ukrainians, the EU is your home, and that’s why we are determined to support you for as long as it takes with more military, financial, and political support,” Charles Michel claimed. 

Also, the speaker outlined the EU’s efforts to politically and economically isolate Russia, whose behavior provokes condemnation and poses a threat to the entire international community.

Charles Michel concluded his speech by thanking the servicemen and servicewomen of Ukraine for fighting not only for their country but also for the common future of a free and democratic Europe. He stated that the European Union must stand by Ukrainians in their struggle.
