Roberta Mezzola acknowledged Europe's responsibility for Putin's many years of impunity.
European Parliament President Roberta Mezzola considers Europe responsible for not taking all measures to prevent Russia's military aggression against Ukraine. “Directly or indirectly” we are financing this war, she said in an interview with CNN.
The tragedy in Kramatorsk, the atrocities of the aggressor in Bucha and other horrific actions of the Russian military committed against Ukrainian citizens are “international war crimes committed against independent people who are simply fighting for democracy and for their country,” Mezzola said.
According to the leader of the European Parliament, the EU is significantly behind with Ukraine's help. Financial assistance and logistics are vital for the introduction of war and victory over Russia.
She sees Russia's military aggression as Europe's responsibility, as not all necessary measures have been taken in time to stop any encroachment on Ukraine's sovereignty.
