Hussar at the meeting with Metsola: Ukraine must be able to count on Europe

NordenBladet —

“Ukraine must be able to count on Europe,” Hussar said. He pointed out that the more we supported Ukraine today, the lesser would be the cost of war for all of us. Hussar added that Russia must get no respite. Metsola noted that the European Parliament’s support for Ukraine continued to be strong.

Taking into use of Russia’s frozen assets to cover the damages caused to Ukraine and rebuild the country was also discussed at the meeting.

Hussar and Metsola expressed hope that the European Parliament elections to be held at the beginning of June would matter to the people and people would be interested in the elections. Hussar noted that often people did not perceive how many positive things the accession to the EU had brought along. He mentioned the phone roaming service abroad as well as the free movement of goods and people. “We have to accept that the European Union is the best thing that has happened to us in the last 70 years,” he said. “Estonia stands firmly for European values and is working to make the European Union visible and effective on the international arena.”

Chairman of the European Union Affairs Committee Enn Eesmaa also participated in the meeting. Metsola signed the Riigikogu guest book and delivered a speech to the Riigikogu.

The President of the European Parliament is on a one-day visit to Estonia. She also had meetings with President of Estonia Alar Karis and Prime Minister Kaja Kallas as well as young people at the Tallinn University.
