Sutt discusses further support to Ukraine with EU counterparts in Stockholm

NordenBladet —

Sutt explained that the Conference would bring together the representatives of the foreign affairs and defence committees of the Parliaments of the EU countries and the European Parliament to jointly declare their support to Ukraine. “At the moment, Ukraine needs rapid military, economic and political aid from the countries of the West to win the war started by Russia. We have to continue with strict enforcing of the existing sanctions and imposing of new sanctions to weaken Russia. It is also necessary to continue with setting up an international special tribunal,” Sutt said, and added that in order to achieve this, it was vital to keep the unity of the West.

Sutt plans to underline the importance of comprehensive and urgent assistance to Ukraine today at the first session of the Conference, where the passing of a year from the start of Russia’s full-scale war in Ukraine will be marked. On Friday, the Conference will focus on the challenges and opportunities of the EU’s Strategic Compass for Security and Defence, the issues relating to the Arctic, as well as the priorities of the Common Foreign and Security Policy and Common Security and Defence Policy.

The Inter-parliamentary Conference held in Stockholm is s part of the parliamentary dimension of the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the European Union during the first half of 2023.
