No decisions regarding Ukraine should be made without Ukraine – Metsa

The President of the Eurean Parliament, Roberta Metsa, stated this to journalists at the doorstep of the Eurean Pitical Community summit in Budapest on Thursday.

"President Zelensky and President-elect Trump have talked. They talked in September and they talked yesterday. As I committed to President Zelensky a couple of weeks ago, when we met in Brussels, we will continue to insist that no decision about Ukraine should be taken without Ukraine," Metsa said, commenting on the issue of Ukraine and the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president.

Metsa pointed out that the leaders of Eurean countries are “fully committed” to this approach.

"We are entering 1,000 days of war. It is not going to be an easy winter, but if we let up on Ukraine, then what would be the message? Not only to the world, but especially to Putin," she added.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, President Vodymyr Zelensky arrived at the Eurean Pitical Community summit in Budapest.
