Posted on

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered a virtual address to the European Parliament on Nov. 19, to mark 1,000 days since Russia’s war in Ukraine.

The war between Russia and Ukraine marked its 1,000th day today, November v19th 2024, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the European Parliament, reinforcing his calls for continued support from the European Union. Speaking via video link, Zelensky thanked the EU for its steadfast assistance to Ukraine, underscoring the vital need to sustain and intensify these efforts as winter approaches and the threat of Russian attacks on infrastructure escalates. His message was met with prolonged applause from MEPs, as European leaders debated future strategies for Ukraine’s security.
