2025 Commission report on Ukraine (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. We all want Ukraine to win against Putin. The criminal Russian army has invaded Ukraine because Ukrainians want a European future for their country. And we want a European Ukraine. We want and believe that this can happen. This, of course, requires consistent action. That is why reforms are so important, it is so important to base the state on the rule of law, on…

Supporting democratic resilience in Armenia (debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. Armenia has chosen development based on democracy and peace. This is very important, because it is something that should give us a lot to think about. The European Union is precisely a project that is less economic today, certainly less geographical, and more a project that is based on one fundamental principle and objective: we are to guarantee our citizens the securit…

Mr President, thank you very much. Either the European Union will be stronger, more efficient, less bureaucratic, but faster, mobilising funds for the most important projects, for those most expected by citizens and those that carry risks, or it will no longer be needed.

Madam President, I'm sorry. This war can end today, it can end tomorrow. One of Putin's orders and this war will cease to be continued. Just as he triggered it with a single order to attack Ukraine, so Putin can end it. Because he's the only one responsible for this drama, for this massacre.

Madam President, I'm sorry. On behalf of the European People's Party, I would like to start this debate with a very simple sentence: Aliaksandr Lukashenka is a dictator.
