Prove you are with us: Ukraine prez Voldomyr Zelensky at EU parliament
Ukraine President Voldomyr Zelensky on Tuesday said that his country has proved it is strong and urged the European Union to prove their support to the war-torn nation.
Addressing a special session of the European Parliament, on a day when at least 10 people were killed in a missile strike on the central square of Kharkiv, on the sixth day of invasion by Russia, Zelensky sought the support that will let life conquer death.
"I cannot say good morning or good day, because every day for somebody this is not a good day," Zelensky began to a huge round of applause by the member nation representative, who watched him on a huge screen.
"We have united all Europe but I did not want to be united at this cost. This is a tragedy for all of us. We had five days of full-scale invasion," he said.
