“This morning, at Kyiv’s railway station, we were pleased to welcome our allies who joined us to celebrate 35 years since Ukraine restored its independence. Welcome to Kyiv, Andy Burnham, Luc Frieden, Maia Sandu, Alar Karis, and António Costa. For Ukraine, independence is not an abstract idea. We have defended it despite all the difficulties. At times like these, countries understand how important it is to have allies by their side,” the post said.
