The head of the European Parliament (EP), Roberta Metsola, arrived in Kyiv late Friday night.
“It is good to be back in Ukraine. To these brave people who inspired the world. To the heroes who refuse to give up. To those who sacrificed everything for our values. To the Europeans whose home is in our European Union,” Metsola wrote on Twitter’s microblog on Saturday night.
She stressed that “the future of Ukraine is membership in the European Union” and that Europe will “go all the way with you.”
Metsola also met with the speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Ruslan Stefanchuk.
“It’s good to see my friend Ruslan Stefanchuk again. Cooperation between the European Parliament and the Ukrainian Parliament will be strengthened”, – said the head of the European Parliament.
In turn, Stefanchuk stressed that the European Parliament is undoubtedly at the forefront of support for Ukraine.
The MP added that during the meeting the sides discussed sanctions against Russia, noting that “all possibilities of circumventing restrictions should be stopped”.
Also Stefanchuk thanked the European Union for financial support, for macrofinancial assistance.
In addition, the head of the Ukrainian parliament raised the topic of China’s proposals on the so-called “peace treaty.”
“He said that there is a formula for peace, proposed by Ukrainian President Zelensky. And it is to the support of this initiative we call the world”, – summed up Stefanchuk.
