I think this is the decision which will help Ukraine to believe that there is justice...," Zelenskiy told reporters.
"All these are big challenges for everyone and already not only for Ukraine, but a challenge for preserving the unity of the European Union," he said.
"It will be a difficult meeting but I do not intend to give up," Michel said, adding that the world needed a strong European Union to ensure stability and prosperity.
