The European Union flag was placed inside the main chamber of the Ukrainian Rada, or parliament, in Kyiv on Friday, July 1.

Video posted by the Ambassador of the European Union to Ukraine, Matti Maasikas, showed a full parliament applauding as the flag was carried through the chamber.

The symbolic moment was carried out on the day the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen addressed the Rada.

“Ukraine now has a clear European perspective and is a candidate to join the EU,” Von der Leyen said.

“Europe will stand up with Ukraine for as long as it takes. And we will not rest until you prevail.” Credit: Matti Maasikas via Storyful
