During a meeting between Ukrainian MPs with ECR Group Co-Chair Ryszard Legutko, Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze, Chair of the Parliamentary Committee on Integration of Ukraine to the EU, pointed out that European Union countries should not become lax in their support towards Ukraine.

The visiting Ukrainian delegation expressed the wish that their homeland will soon be accepted as an EU candidate. “It is important that Ukrainians, who after all are defending the values on which the European Union was founded in their homeland, can have hope,” Klympush-Tsintsadze said. ECR Co-Chairman Ryszard Legutko assured the representatives of the fullest support of the group. He said, “Everything must be done so that Ukraine can become an EU member as soon as possible.”

At the moment, Ukraine needs modern Western weapons above all else for its victory over Russia. In addition, effective sanctions are crucial for curtailing the ability of the Russian economy to support the war, the Ukrainian delegation said. A victory over Putin and the subsequent isolation of Russia by the free world would be a signal that wars are not without the most serious consequences for the aggressor.
