What the debate was about

Auto-generated

This includes €173.4 million in stabilisation and humanitarian assistance, €200 million in bilateral, non-lethal military support for Ukraine, €66 million in non-lethal military support under the European Peace Facility as well as €25 million to support the provision of energy to Ukraine, announced last month. At every opportunity and every time we speak about Ukraine, we must condemn the war of aggression and show our solidarity and support for the people of Ukraine. This commitment is in the form of a loan, known as the Ukraine support loan.

It is utterly inconceivable that peace talks about Ukraine may happen without the involvement of Ukraine. The one point I take, which we can all agree on, is the need for continued support for Ukraine, and to stand in solidarity with Ukraine.
