Ukraine's partners need to step up their support because Russia does not plan to stop at the current front line and seeks to continue its expansion.
First Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Sergiy Kyslytsya said this in an interview with Ukrinform.
According to the diplomat, Ukraine's 35th Independence Day is a very important milestone, especially for a country that has been facing a full-scale war for the past five years.
In this context, he expressed hope that the presence of high-ranking European guests at the Independence Day celebrations would be more than merely symbolic and that relevant announcements on providing assistance to Ukraine would be made.
Kyslytsya also noted that representatives of the countries expected to visit Kyiv understand that "this is not charity, that every euro invested in Ukraine means European lives saved and 10 to 100 euros saved from their budgets."
