The future that Maidan fought for has finally begun – von der Leyen

President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen congratulated the Ukrainian people on the Day of Dignity and Freedom. She emphasized that the future for which Maidan fought has finally just begun, and it is in the European Union.

This is reported with reference to the publication of the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen on X (Twitter).

"Ten years of dignity. Of pride. Of striving for freedom," the President of the European Commission began her address.

According to her, Ukrainians wrapped themselves in European flags during the events on the Maidan, and resisted snipers and special forces, because back then they clearly decided that their future was in a European state.

"The cold winter nights of Euromaidan changed Europe forever. Today it is clearer than ever. The future of Ukraine is in the European Union. The future that the Maidan fought for has finally begun," Ursula von der Leyen wrote.

As a reminder, on Tuesday, November 21, President of the European Council Charles Michel arrived in Kyiv, along with President of Moldova Maia Sandu.

According to Moldovan President Maia Sandu, her visit with Michel coincided not by chance - the agenda includes discussions on the next steps for Moldova and Ukraine's accession to the EU.
