The platforms condemn the Russian Federation's unprecedented attacks and praise the firm position of the European Union. They stress that their countries have made their choice and wish to become full EU members. They note that Ukrainians, above all civilians, are paying the highest price while fighting for democracy, freedom and European values.
The signatories say their countries have improved and harmonised national legislation with European standards, with the active involvement of civil society. They welcome the support of several EU member states for granting Ukraine candidate status quickly. They also call for candidate status to be granted promptly to Georgia and Moldova, and urge the EU and the democratic community to increase pressure on Russia to withdraw from Ukraine. The statement is signed by national facilitators Yurii Vdovenko, Natia Kuprashvili and Adrian Lupusor.
