During his speech at the Assembly of the European People’s Party, Petro Poroshenko called on the European partners to do everything possible for Ukraine’s victory.
‘The challenges during this election campaign have never been more difficult. And they turned these elections into a European vote of confidence – in our principles, our values, leadership and strategy,’ the former president said.
Poroshenko stated that the European Commission has never been as effective as during the five years under the leadership of Ursula von der Leyen, noting that it was Ukraine that expanded the borders of the European Union and made it stronger than ever.
During his speech, he listed the key elements for Ukraine’s victory.
They include support Ukraine until victory, further sanctions to stop Putin’s ability to fund war, membership of Ukraine in the EU and NATO, and financial assistance to Ukraine to support macroeconomic stability.
Poroshenko is convinced that Ukraine should be among the priorities of the European Commission’s agenda. The commitment to support Ukraine should be one of the key requirements for new members of the European Parliament.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine.

In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
