The President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, told CNN that the missile attack on a train station in Kramatorsk and other attacks on civilians in Ukraine are “international war crimes committed against sovereign people who are simply fighting for democracy and their country”.
Speaking with Julia Chatterley of CNNon Friday, Metsola said that Europe is not delivering equipment, financial assistance or logistical assistance fast enough “and it is up to us today, at these times, to stand up to be useful and not turn our backs.”
She also said that Europe is funding this war “either directly or indirectly” and must take responsibility for not having acted sooner to stop the war.
“Why do we shelter Putin, his family, the oligarchs and all the people who support him in our Europe by selling our passports, our citizenship? By allowing them to hide their money in our countries. And we need to make sure that doesn’t happen again,” she said.
When asked about Ukraine’s candidacy for the European Union, Metsola said that “for parliament, it’s clear. The place for Ukraine is in Europe.”
