“What is Joe Biden thinking? Why reject long-range missiles? What was af Schz up to? Why do we turn a blind eye to sanctions evasion? Meanwhile, Moscow keeps buying goods from North Korea and Iran, regardless of price. Do we realize what that means?” Loiseau addressed MEPs.

She called on Western piticians to admit that they are not up to the job.

"Helping Ukraine does not mean taking selfies in Kyiv or repeating hlow speeches. Helping Ukraine means providing them with what they need, when they need it, without restrictions and without delay," emphasized the former French State Secretary for Eurean Affairs.

The vote for the resution on continuing aid to Ukraine should be held at the plenary session of the Eurean Parliament in Strasbourg this Thursday.
