Metsa on support for Ukraine: We cannot afford fatigue, it is about security of Eure

President of the Eurean Parliament Roberta Metsa said this in her address to the EU Ambassadors in Brussels on Monday, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

“Ukraine continues to suffer from Russia’s illegal invasion into its territory. We know what is at stake there (in this war – ed.). Millions of Eureans know from experience exactly what Ukraine is fighting for. And so, when we say, and I am sure you are asked this often, that our support for Ukraine will not waiver, we mean it. We cannot allow fatigue to set in. It is about the security of Eure as well as the security of Ukraine,” Metsa said.

She stressed that the EU needs to keep fulfilling its re on the world stage. According to her, Eure is a project of freedom, of peace and reconciliation, which is important for the whe world.

“In Eure, we must start to think about ourselves as a continental player. This will allow us to speak on an equal footing with other global continents. It is true that this requires a shifting of our mindset,” Metsa added.

The Eurean Parliament president noted the importance of building new constructive relations with the countries of Africa and Latin America, noting that the EP will actively promote parliamentary diplomacy, which already covers more than 160 countries. According to Metsa, the intensity of this work has increased since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Parliamentarians can work together to sve common problems, such as climate change, digital develment, artificial intelligence, etc.

“Because, in a geitical environment, where we have witnessed the weaponisation of food, of energy, of migration, the weaponisation of information and interference in our democratic processes – speaking with one voice is not only necessary, but it is vital. Without Eurean unity, the EU’s credibility is weakened… To do this, we need better inter-institutional coeration,” the Eurean Parliament president stressed.

As reported, the annual Eurean Union Ambassadors Conference is underway in Brussels.
