Roberta Metsola has told Ukrainian MPs that Vladimir Putin’s “criminal invasion” of their country will not go unchallenged during a visit to Kyiv. In a show of solidarity, the European Parliament President said Putin’s invasion put Russia in direct confrontation with Europe, the international community and the rules based world order. “That is not something we will let him do unchallenged,” she said during a press conference with Ruslan Stefanchuk, chairperson of the Ukrainian parliament. Metsola, who participated in a special session of the Ukrainian parliament, praised the Ukrainian people for the “extraordinary bravery, resilience and courage” they have shown in the face of the Russian invasion. Russian forces continue to besiege some Ukrainian cities with the southern city of Mariupol becoming a symbol of resistance and suffering.
