Metsola: No Alternatives — Decision Needed Today
The EU must find a solution for financing Ukraine today.
The Gaze reports on it according to Ukrinforn.
The President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, stressed that Europe is in a situation where there is no alternative and must urgently find a solution for financing Ukraine if it wants to help it and guarantee the security of the continent.
According to a Ukrinform correspondent, Metsola emphasised this during a conversation with journalists before the start of a meeting of European Union leaders in Brussels on Thursday, at which the issue of financing Ukraine is a priority.
"I think we have seen – and also heard from members of the European Council – real progress in recent weeks and days. And, in my opinion, for the first time we can say that we may be close to peace. We may be close to ending this war. And I believe that the most important thing we can do today is to stand united behind President Zelensky and Ukraine. This means that we need to make decisions. We need to resolve the issue of funding," she said.
According to Metsola, the European Parliament is ‘ready to cooperate in all areas’ here.
‘We are ready to act and move urgently if a decision on a reparations loan is made. But make no mistake: we are in a situation with no alternatives. If we want to help Ukraine, if we want to guarantee Europe's security, then we must find a solution for financing Ukraine today,’ the President of the European Parliament emphasized.
