Dear Dmytro,  

It has been a complete discussion about everything that matters in the relationship between the European Union and Ukraine.  

Not only about how to support you in facing the Russian invasion, not only about the war, but [also] on the prospects for after the war. Because Ukraine will go out from this challenge becoming a modern, democratic, prosperous and European country. 

And we have to prepare [for] that. You have to do reforms. We have to accompany you. We have to support [you] in facing the war, and we have to support you in building the peace and what is coming after.  

This meeting, I think, has been a complete proof of our support to Ukraine and our common engagement, because you are fighting also for our values.  

And your victory will be the victory of the European Union values, too.  

Thank you.
