The EP President Roberta Metsola was&nbsp;in Ukraine in September&nbsp;to express Europe´s continued&nbsp;support to the country. In her meetings with Ukraininan representatives she&nbsp;expressed support to permanent, just and real peace, strenghtened parliamentary cooperation, continued efforts to weaken Russia&nbsp;through coordinated and strong sanctions and the need to advance on Ukraine´s membership bid.

Ever since Russia launched an illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24&nbsp;February 2022, the EU and the Parliament have supported the country by condemning Russia’s aggression, sanctioning those responsible and providing financial and material aid. Parliament has also been supportive of Ukraine’s efforts to become an EU candidate country and has been calling on EU countries to launch accession talks.

The&nbsp;new EP reconfirmed in July 2024&nbsp; its view that the EU must continue to support Kyiv for as long as it takes until victory. The resolution, which sets out the newly-elected European Parliament’s first official position on Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, restates the continued support of MEPs for Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders. It calls on the EU to maintain and extend its sanctions policy against Russia and Belarus, monitor and review its effectiveness and impact, and systematically tackle the issue of sanctions circumvention by EU-based companies, third parties, and third countries.



Using frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine’s defence and reconstruction is the subject of a debate with Commission and Council representatives. MEPs, the Commission, and the Danish Council Presidency discuss ending all energy imports from Russia and closing loopholes that enable imports via non-EU countries.
