President Volodymyr Zelensky received a lengthy standing ovation after delivering an emotional speech to the European Parliament calling for Ukraine to be granted membership to the European Union.

“I don’t read from paper, the paper phase is over, we’re dealing with lives. Without you, Ukraine will be alone. We’ve proven our strength; we’re the same as you. Prove that you’ll not let us go. Then life will win over death," Zelensky said to representatives of the 27 EU member states.

"This is the price of freedom. We are fighting for our land. And for our freedom, despite the fact that all of the cities of our country are now blocked."

"We are fighting for our rights, for our freedom, for our lives and now we are fighting for our survival," Zelensky continued.

"Every square today, no matter what it's called, is going to be called Freedom Square, in every city of our country. No one is going to break us. We are strong. We are Ukrainians," Zelensky said in closing as he raised a fist in the air before exiting the camera's view.
