The key evidence of support for Ukraine by European countries will be the granting of membership in the European Union, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said.

"I say this as frankly as possible now: the people of Ukraine have already earned and have the right to receive membership in the European Union. This will be a key evidence of support for our country. The decisive moment has come to close the long-term strategic discussion once and for all and decide on Ukraine's membership in the European Union. I discussed this with Charles Michel, Ursula von der Leyen, Emmanuel Macron," Zelensky said in an address on Saturday.
