She noted that all Eureans are living in times of profound change, when the global balance of power is rapidly shifting. This challenges Eurean democratic values ​​and institutions, because the world's authoritarian regimes would like Eure to fail. Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, according to Marta Kos, is a cruel reminder of the EU's important re not only in promoting economic and social progress, but also in protecting against tyranny and maintaining peace.

"My task will be to work closely with Kyiv on the planned reforms, and at the same time to maintain the momentum in the enlargement negotiations, supporting the recovery and reconstruction process, in coordination with the G7 and other like-minded partners. Our economic, military, and pitical support not only helps Ukrainians, it protects Eure as a continent. Even more, it protects the global order based on international law and multilateralism. If confirmed, I will ensure that the enlargement negotiations remain a beacon for this heroic country. This should also apply to our friends in Mdova," said Marta Kos.

"The prospect of joining the EU embodies these obligations in the most powerful way. For me, supporting Ukraine and pushing back against Russian aggression is an absute priority, pitically, economically, and financially, using our entire EU tobox," the candidate added.
