Continued financial and military support to Ukraine by EU Member States (debate)
Thank you very much. It will be three years since the conflict in Ukraine began, and half of this plenary has been repeating the same military propaganda, the same moralisation and the same blind calls for a few billion more and Ukraine to defend itself for three years. Colleagues, it's time to wake up from your childhood dreams. Ukraine cannot defend itself, and by arming it endlessly, you are only escalating tensions and prolonging a conflict that has no military solution. Hundreds of billions, dozens of sanctions and what is the result? Tens of thousands of my peers dead, all counteroffensives failed, and according to Zelensky's last words - for every bullet of Ukraine there are 12 Russians... and you go on your own. How long?! To the last Ukrainian? If you were serious about your false promises to Ukraine, you would have called for the deployment of our national armies a long time ago, because otherwise nothing of what you have been talking about for hours will be achieved. Personally, I am existentially opposed to such an escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, but contrary to your blind moralizing, this attitude at least makes sense. What you've been showing here for the third year actually helps only the weapons complexes. No one else, not Europeans, not Ukrainians, not peace.
