November 18, 2024 (press release) –
On Tuesday at 11.00, Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy will address MEPs from Ukraine in a special plenary session, marking 1000 days of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
EP President Roberta Metsola will make a statement at the beginning of the extraordinary session, after which President Zelenskyy will address MEPs via live video link from Ukraine. Political group leaders will then follow.
Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the EU and the Parliament have strongly supported the country by condemning Russia’s aggression, imposing sanctions and stepping up its political, humanitarian, military and financial aid to Kyiv.
Parliament has also been a fervent supporter of Ukraine’s efforts to join the EU and has repeatedly called on EU member states to launch accession talks. In addition, MEPs have firmly stated that Russia must compensate financially for the destruction it has caused in Ukraine, arguing that the EU should make use of Moscow’s confiscated state-owned assets to facilitate this.
Here is a (non-exhaustive) list of Ukraine resolutions adopted by MEPs since 2021.
You can follow the extraordinary plenary session live on Parliament’s webstreaming or on EbS+.
