Rede des ukrainischen Präsidenten Wolodymyr Selenskyj vor dem Europaparlament,
9.2.2023 (engl. Original)
All of us, Europeans, each and every one of the hundreds of millions of people on our continent, combine these two statuses - representatives of Europe and leaders of Europe. This combination reflects what our Europe, a modern Europe, a peaceful Europe, gives to the world. European way of life. European path of life. European manner of life. European rules of life.
When everyone matters. When the law rules.
When states strive to be social and societies strive to be open. When diversity is a value and the values of the different are united by fair equality.
When the borders are inviolable, but their crossing is not felt.
When people believe in tomorrow and are willing to take to the streets to fight for their tomorrow. When there is only one single barrier between the president and the protesters, and that is fair elections.
This is our Europe. These are our rules. This is our way of life.
And for Ukraine, it's a way home.
Now I am here to protect the way home for our people. All Ukrainian men, all Ukrainian women. Of different ages and different political beliefs, different social status, different views on religion, with different personal stories, but common European history with all of you.
There is an attempt to destroy the Ukrainian European way of life by all-out war. But what for?
For the destruction of the European way of life as such after the Ukrainian European way of life is destroyed.
For each of all twenty-seven elements of the European way of life. The twenty-seven countries of the European Union.
We will not allow that.
