Parubiy calls on Euronest Parliamentary Assembly to tighten sanctions against Russia

Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Andriy Parubiy calls on the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly to tighten sanctions against Russia. 

He stated this during a meeting with members of the Bureau of the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly in Kyiv on Monday, the press service of the Verkhovna Rada reports.

"We should realize that solidarity in response to challenges is particularly important. It is necessary to stop Putin as a pledge, a guarantee of security and well-being. The aggressor will regard any dalliance as an encouragement to a new aggression. Therefore, sanctions should be tightened, and, most importantly, we should take a common stand," Parubiy said.

In turn, co-chairman of the Euronest PA Marian Lupu (Moldova) assured that each member state of the Euronest fully supports Ukraine. He also called “deeply symbolic” the fact that the Euronest PA session is taking place in Ukraine.
