European Parliament President Roberta Metsola makes second visit to Ukraine since war began
Local
Roberta Metsola, the President of the European Parliament, has returned to Ukraine for the second time since the war began.
During her visit, Metsola met with Ruslan Stefanchuk, the President of Ukraine’s parliament, and promised to strengthen cooperation between Ukraine and the EU’s parliament.
Her visit comes just days after the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and follows an address by Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky to the European Parliament.
Metsola called on EU countries to send long-range military systems to Kyiv and for Ukraine to be given a pathway to eventual EU membership.
The visit also coincided with a surprise visit by US Attorney General Merrick Garland to the country.
