The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a path that will lead the Kremlin to a confrontation with Europe and the world order, stressed the head of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola.
The President of the European Parliament said that it is difficult to watch the scenes that are taking place in Ukraine. As she pointed out, while we had hoped and worked on the de-escalation process, our fears and warnings were tragically implemented on Thursday morning.
“President Putin unleashed a war in Europe. This is outrageous. Cities, regions, capitals of independent nations are not available. This is from the world of a painful past. It can never come back,” Metsola stressed.
“The Russian invasion of Ukraine is part of President Putin's destabilization program. This is the path that will lead the Kremlin to a confrontation with Europe and the rules-based world order. It is a path that contrasts the authoritarianism of democracy. It is a path that we cannot let him walk unhindered,” she added.
