As stated by President Costa, integration into the EU and its security structures provides one of the strongest guarantees for Ukraine's safety. Mathernová emphasized that the EU's coordinated efforts and the physical presence of its diplomatic missions and corps in Ukraine are crucial, asserting that the European Union and its member states are the most dependable allies of Ukraine. She reminded that it is essential for countries to showcase their commitment through physical presence in the region, especially when Ukrainians are present there. The Ambassador stressed that the current work to enhance Ukraine's integration into Europe should continue, noting that the Verkhovna Rada has made significant progress over the past week in implementing reforms vital for European alignment. She encouraged lawmakers to maintain this momentum, highlighting that a recent week marked an important step with the adoption of sensitive legislation. Mathernová reiterated her call for sustained efforts, urging lawmakers to keep up the productive work. In line with global trends, the European Council, as reported by Ukrinform, concluded its two-day meeting on October 16 with a call for enhanced military and financial support for Ukraine, bolstering energy resilience and air defense capabilities, and tightening sanctions on Russia.",
