European Council’s decision to support Ukraine is a signal "across the Atlantic" that Europe is committing itself, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video message on Thursday.

“Today, Europe has demonstrated exactly the kind of unity that is needed. Twenty-seven countries – together. The EU institutions – in full cooperation. This is a clear signal to Moscow that Europe will withstand and that Europe will not be broken by any destructive waves that the Kremlin always comes up with,” he said.

At the same time, Zelenskyy noted that “it is a clear signal across the Atlantic that Europe is taking on commitments. Security commitments. Strong commitments. We are waiting for America's decisions.”

“I thank everyone who stands with freedom! I thank everyone who adds their personal strength to the strength of the whole of Ukraine! We can win!” the President stated.
