The Speaker also noted that MEPs support accelerating Ukraine's accession to the European Union, strengthening sanctions against Russia and bringing those responsible for war crimes to justice.

"We are on the same wavelenght. And this wave is so powerful that it can knock down an uninvited guest who committed genocide of the Ukrainian people," the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine emphasised.
