Показать описание
Abir Al-Sahlani (Renew). – Herr talman! Ärade kommissionär, ärade kolleger! Jag överlevde ett krig när jag var tio år gammal som förändrade mitt liv för alltid. Jag minns hur min ensamstående mamma tog tag i mig och sprang. Jag minns hur hon försökte skydda min kropp med sin lilla kropp i tron att hon kunde få mig att leva ifall bomberna skulle träffa oss. Jag minns också den lilla syriska pojken Alan, vars kropp sköljdes upp på de grekiska stränderna. Han flydde från kriget i Syrien men klarade aldrig att komma till säkerheten. Jag minns även den lilla, livlösa, 18 månader gamla pojken Kirill från Mariupol, hans livlösa kropp och hans föräldrars och läkarnas desperata försök att rädda hans liv. Det gick inte att rädda.
Det vi ser i dag är en stor tragedi, men vi får inte låta den här tragedin leda till att vi blir handlingslösa. Vi måste göra allt för att ge det ukrainska folket vårt stöd, och det kan vi göra på två sätt: Det ena är att omedelbart upprätta humanitära korridorer för att skydda de civila ukrainska flyktingarna, och EU måste ge allt stöd vi kan för att skydda dem. Det andra är att vi måste sätta hårt mot hårt mot Putin. Den ryska oljan luktar ukrainskt blod. När vi fortsatt köper den ryska oljan, fortsätter vi också att ge pengar till detta krig. Detta är troligtvis unionens största prövning på många decennier. Låt oss fortsätta stå enade för Ukrainas folk. Slava Ukraini.
On Tuesday afternoon, plenary debated with Council and Commission representatives the deteriorating situation for refugees as a consequence of the Russian invasion. According to the UNHCR, more than one million persons have left the country since 24 February, most of them heading to neighbouring countries. The European Commission proposed on Wednesday to activate the Temporary Protection Directive, to ensure that Ukrainians get protection in the EU, including temporary residence rights and access to education and the labour market.

In a separate debate on Wednesday morning, in which Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas will participate, MEPs will look into the EU’s role in a changing world and Europe’s security situation in the wake of the Russian aggression and invasion of Ukraine. President Metsola and Prime Minister Kallas will give a press conference after the debate.
These exchanges follow the extraordinary plenary session held on Tuesday 1 March, with the remote participation of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Speaker of the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada (parliament) Ruslan Stefanchuk. Parliament adopted a resolution calling for tougher sanctions against Russia and new efforts to grant Ukraine EU candidate status.
Russian aggression in Ukraine: MEPs praise exceptional solidarity with refugees. As more than two million refugees flee war in Ukraine, mostly towards the EU, member states will have to continue showing solidarity, MEPs said on Tuesday.
In a plenary debate with Brigitte Klinkert, French Minister Delegate for Economic Inclusion, on behalf of the Council, and Commissioner Ylva Johansson, MEPs highlighted the dramatic humanitarian and refugee situation caused by the Russian attack on Ukraine. They praised frontline states for their extraordinary engagement so far, but warned that sustained solidarity across the EU will be necessary in the long-term. Speakers unanimously condemned Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.
MEPs also welcomed the EU’s swift response, ensuring protection to those fleeing from Ukraine, and called for sufficient financial aid to maintain support in the medium- and long-term. Some speakers wished to see concrete progress on the reform of the EU’s migration and asylum rules, with others stressing that all refugees, regardless of their ethnicity, need the same protection.
Europe stands united, with you. European Parliament President Roberta Metsola addressed the Plenary on the Occasion of the International Women's Day. Welcoming Ukrainian writer Oksana Zabuzhko, President Metsola said that the European Parliament will serve as a platform for the strength of Ukrainian brave women to be shown to the world.
Opening the Plenary Session in Strasbourg, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola called on the Russian authorities to free those unjustly jailed. Freedom of expression is a right which we will protect and defend. President Metsola also called on Kremlin to stop intimidating protestors and release immediately all those detained. #
