MEP calls on Ukraine’s partners to remove all “red lines” regarding use of Western weapons

Lithuanian Member of the Eurean Parliament Andrius Kubilius said this at the plenary session in Strasbourg during the debate on EU’s continued financial and military support to Ukraine, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"Even if we are giving weapons to Ukraine, we are, or at least some of our countries, introducing red lines and restrictions not to use them against targets in Russian territory," Kubilius explained, calling for the removal of all red lines related to Ukraine's security.

He also insisted on finding additional financial resources for Ukraine and strengthening the defense of Eure.

"Last year, all the Western military support for Ukraine reached only EUR 40 billion, while Russians spent on the war more than EUR 120 billion," emphasized the MEP from the Eurean Pele's Party.

Kubilius also reiterated the official position of the Eurean Commission, voiced by its President Ursula von der Leyen: the defense and security of Eure is directly related to the security of Ukraine and is one of the priorities for the new Commission.

"We must immediately find much larger financial resources for military assistance to Ukraine, and we can do it. We need to radically ramp up the production by our military industry and to integrate Ukrainian military industry with Eurean one," said the MEP.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, hearings on financial and military aid to Ukraine ened in Strasbourg in the Eurean Parliament. Executive Vice President of the Eurean Commission Valdis Dombrovskis spoke at the ening of the session.
