Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for the unity of Europe and to prevent Putin from destroying its power.

"The unity and solidarity of all of Europe must be strong. The unity of all 27 EU countries, the strength of our common rules and agreements, the strength of the EU's ability to expand according to its own founding treaties," he said, speaking at the second summit of the European Political Community in Granada (Spain) on Thursday.

"Putin cannot be allowed to destabilize any other parts of the world and our partners in order to destroy the power of Europe. We must continue to push with sanctions, politically and economically, so that Russia cannot spread chaos... We must work together to push Russia out of other countries," Zelenskyy said.

According to him, "every Russian drone shot down in Ukraine, every Russian tank destroyed in Ukraine is a guarantee that this drone, this tank, any other Russian weapon destroyed in Ukraine will not hit another in Europe."

"Additional air defense systems for Ukraine, additional artillery and shells, additional long-range missiles and drones for our warriors, as well as additional formats of support and security guarantees for nations threatened by Russia – all this will protect Europe from additional aggressive steps by Russia," Zelenskyy said.

He said unity must work "so that no other city in Europe feels what our Kharkiv, all the cities and villages of Ukraine are going through."

"Let Putin's ambitions be ruins, not our countries, not our cities," Zelenskyy said.
