European Parliament President Roberta Metsola stressed that the session would send an "important signal" of the EU's continued and unwavering commitment to Ukraine.
Since February 2022, the EU and Parliament have supported Ukraine, condemning Russian aggression, imposing sanctions, and providing financial, political, military, and humanitarian assistance. On February 11, Parliament approved a €90 billion EU loan for Ukraine.
In recent years, Parliament has repeatedly reaffirmed its solidarity and close cooperation with Ukraine. Initiatives include the inauguration of a permanent presence in Kyiv in September 2025, several visits by President Metsola to Kyiv and the Verkhovna Rada, and speeches by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the plenary chamber.
Parliament also supported Ukraine's desire to join the EU. Recognizing the country's extraordinary efforts under such difficult circumstances, MEPs encouraged the Ukrainian authorities to continue implementing reforms and called on the European Commission to open negotiations to advance Ukraine's EU accession process as quickly as possible.
