477 day of war. Address by Volodymyr Zelensky.

"We have taken significant international steps that strengthen our position on several fronts.

The European Parliament adopted a powerful resolution in support of the European and Euro-Atlantic aspirations of our people. There is a specific call on the EU leaders to define a clear path for our country to become an EU member.

And on the issue of the Alliance, the European Parliament is fixing the meaning of our Ukrainian contribution to Euro-Atlantic security, which stipulates that Ukraine's path to NATO and a political invitation to join should be developed in the context of preparations for the Alliance Summit in Vilnius.

The second important international step taken today is the bill registered in the United States on the confiscation and transfer to our country of assets of the Russian state, a terrorist state, as reparations. I thank the US senators for their strong bipartisan support for this issue of justice for Ukraine and all victims of Russian terror.

The Russian ruling class does not value people and is ready to waste human lives by the hundreds of thousands. But they feel sorry for the money they have embezzled. They value their assets. They must lose them completely, and in favour of those who suffered from their aggression, from this terrorist war: in favour of our state, our people."
