The European Parliament at its plenary session on Wednesday, July 17, approved by a majority vote a resolution in support of Ukraine, in which, in particular, it condemned the uncoordinated foreign policy actions of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
This was reported by Yevropeiska Pravda.
The resolution, which was supported by 495 MEPs out of 679 who voted, reaffirms support for “Ukraine's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders.”
It condemns the recent visit of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to Russia, “emphasizes that he did not represent the EU during this visit and considers this visit a flagrant violation of EU treaties and common foreign policy.”
The majority of the European Parliament condemned Hungary's abuse of its presidency of the EU Council and called on it to lift the blockade of funding for Ukraine from the European Peace Fund.
The resolution calls for continued military, financial, and other assistance to Ukraine, support for Ukraine's accession to the European Union, and the use of frozen Russian assets. It also condemns the Russian shelling of Okhmatdyt and Russia's hybrid attacks against the EU.
