The writer believes that deokkupatsii Ukrainian territory will allow to expand borders of Europe.
Well-known Ukrainian writer Serhiy Zhadan participated in the project “Fifth Kharkiv”, which discussed about the place of Ukraine in Europe and European values.
The writer linked their reflections on the future of Ukraine as part of Europe with the realities of the Ukrainian war with Russia.
“The border of Europe today coincides with the front line. It is clear that even many of the people in this room might not exactly support the idea of the so-called European values. Because European values are very vague and often contradict themselves. But anyway it is clear that the war, which is happening with Russia, it is not over territory, not over some settlements. It continues for values, for things that are important to us,” says Zhadan.
He focuses on the fact that the territory of “LDNR” and Crimea is temporarily occupied, but remain Ukrainian.
“And when Ukraine will regain the territory it slightly to expand not only the borders of Ukraine, but also Europe’s borders”, he said.
