The silly European Parliament, which has put a banner on its website homepage, declaring in blue and yellow, “We Stand with Ukraine for as Long as It Takes,” approved a resolution on Nov. 28 calling for escalating the war against Russia by providing long-range weapons to Kiev. The resolution was adopted by 390 votes in favor, 135 against with 52 abstentions. It calls for more sanctions against Russia.
The Resolution, voted one day after the vote on the new EU Commission, as described by official EU sources, “calls for the EU and its Member States to further strengthen their military support for Ukraine, including through the provision of aircraft, long-range missiles, including Taurus missiles, modern air defense systems, including Patriots and SAMP/T, and ammunition, as well as MANPADS, artillery and training programmes for Ukrainian forces, and calls for accelerated delivery of the equipment pledged to meet Ukraine’s urgent needs; reiterates its position that all EU Member States and NATO allies should collectively and individually commit to supporting Ukraine militarily, with no less than 0.25 % of their GDP annually; welcomes the signing of the joint security commitments between the EU and Ukraine and calls for the Commission and Member States to act swiftly to effectively implement the commitments made; calls on the Commission and the Council to prioritize making the European IRIS2 space communication capabilities fully operational and to grant Ukraine (and Taiwan) access as soon as possible.”
