European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, on Wednesday, said “Huge crowds are waving European flags in Moldova and Georgia, where the yearning for a place in the European Union burns resolutely.”

In her keynote speech at the GLOBSEC 2023 Bratislava Forum, von der Leyen noted that “This is the moment to seize, to forge a more united Europe.”

“History is on the move. Putin wanted to grab Ukraine for Russia. He calculated that the European Union would just accept it. Instead, Ukraine resisted bravely and is beating him back. And we in Europe, rightly and steadfastly, stand with Ukraine. We are meeting this pivotal moment in history. And we must stay the course. Ukraine will emerge stronger from this war. Huge crowds are waving European flags in Moldova and Georgia, where the yearning for a place in the European Union burns resolutely. The Western Balkans and the Union are getting closer and closer. This is the moment to seize, to forge a more united Europe,” she underscored.
