Let me mention three things: First, borders cannot be changed by force. Second, as a sovereign state, there are no limits to Ukraine’s armed forces, which would make the country vulnerable to future attacks and therefore endanger European security. Third, the importance of the European Union in building peace for Ukraine must be fully recognized. Ukraine must have the freedom and sovereign right to choose its own destiny. It chooses Europe’s destiny”.
