moldova s president said hosting the summit just 20km from ukraine s border, was a show of solidarity with kyiv. president zelensky has been at the gathering where he emphasised once again that ukraine should be allowed to join both nato and the eu urgently. every european country that borders russia and that does not want russia to tear it apart, should be a full member of the eu and nato. and there are only two alternatives to this either an open war or creeping russian occupation. our correspondentjenny hill is in kishi no for us. today was largely about symbolism, as is often the case with this kind of summit. it s no accident that those european leaders chose to meet here in moldova. of all of ukraine s neighbours, it arguably has the most reason to feel vulnerable in the wake of vladimir putin s full scale invasion of ukraine. moldova is a former soviet state. it s wedged between ukraine and the eu. for many years it s been heavily dependent on moscow for fuel, forf
