World Economic Forum 2022 - European Unity in a Disordered World? - Part2 : Speech by Roberta METSOLA, EP President

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, President of the European Parliament, One thought. I'm being increasingly faced by journalists asking questions using the words face saving, appeasement, how can we tighten this over so that we can move on? And my answer is, this is not the time to talk about face saving for Russia. This is not the time to talk for appeasement. It is the time where we have to put all our efforts, all our efforts, no using of legal arguments, lack of political will, excuses, for Ukraine not to win this war.

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, President of the European Parliament, This is, I think, the thread that we will see throughout all the meetings that we have, not only today, but in the next few days leading up to the European Council next week. I do not want to hear the word or have to be able to give answers as to how we are going to save face of Putin. I do not want to hear the word appeasement any more.
