He emphasized the active support of the Europeans for the rightful cause of Ukraine to defend its sovereignty.

It ought to be noted that many of the European diplomats attending the ceremony wore badges with the Ukrainian flag on their chests and many of the spouses of European ambassadors wore blue dresses and yellow scarves - the colours of the Ukrainian national flag.-02B-
