Europe must finally wake up, get rid of all pessimism, and resolutely help Ukraine so that it can win the war against Russian aggression, and thus remove the Russian threat from all of Europe.
Prime Minister Petteri Orpo of Finland stated this in an address to the European Parliament’s plenary session in Strasbourg on Wednesday, a Ukrinform correspondent reports.
"Russia continues to commit war crimes in Ukraine, it has switched to a war economy. Russia is evidently preparing for a long conflict with the West and represents a permanent and existential military threat to Europe. If we, as a united Europe, fail to respond efficiently to this challenge, the coming years will be filled with danger and the looming threat of attack. We must boost our support to Ukraine now for it to win this war, and at the same time enhance our own defense capabilities and the capability to defend ourselves," said the head of the Finnish government.
He noted that European leaders currently have an important task to put aside any pessimism and demonstrate exemplary leadership in helping Ukraine and strengthening their own defense capabilities. "It’s high time for us to wake up," Orpo said, addressing all Europeans.
