We, Europeans, are not a threat to the interests of , and likewise we do not threaten . On the contrary, we want to live in a peaceful world. We respect Ukraine and Russia as countries, and at the same time we want to see prosperity come for their citizens. This is why in this specific situation we ask from the
rainian Government to respect the rights of protesters and the principle “pacta sunt servanda”. Moreover, we ask from the Government to come one step closer to Europe. The European Convention of Human Rights has been ratified by Russia for the benefit of its citizens, recognizing the fact that Russia considers itself a state, giving paramount focus to civil rights. This is why we support the idea that Ukraine, Russia, and the are allies and friends, and that they should work together for a safe, peaceful and prosperous world. To all the who affirm, with their presence in the streets of , Lviv and other Ukrainian cities, that they want to be Europeans, we want to bring our solidarity message. We send our message of solidarity to Ukrainian citizens who feel European, but they do not express it openly. The same message is sent to citizens of Ukraine and Russia who feel that the is not a threat to their interests. In fact, all of you affirm that your future is in Europe, and with you we say “Ukraine is Europe”. We believe that what is to be the future of the Ukrainian people should only be decided by Ukrainian citizens; and we believe that all true friends of Ukraine should assist the development of the economic, social and political life of Ukraine. The development of the Ukrainian economy and society rests on the empowerment of its citizens, in the full use of individual and political liberties – and for this a transparent and fully-functioning democracy is necessary. We call on to act with a single voice and to remain committed to pursuing a close relationship between the European Union and Ukraine. We call on the Ukrainian and the Russian Governments to accept the fact that such a relationship will also help promoting the relationship of Ukraine with Russia, as the former is not a threat to anyone. Europeans are ready to build closer ties to Ukraine and Russia and to express this wish of Europeans for the benefit of Ukraine, Russia, and the EU. European values, respect for human rights, rule of law, individual freedoms shall be reaffirmed in Ukraine, in Russia, and in Europe. This is why we say, “Ukraine is Europe”.
