Speech in October I plenary session on Russian escalation of its war of aggression against Ukraine

Today in plenary we debated Russia’s escalation of the war against Ukraine, and in my speech I spoke about the fact that we already know how the war will end, but that the road will be long and difficult. We have tended to complain about the sacrifices we face, but the price we have to pay now is countless times less than if we refuse to make sacrifices and compromises. It also opens the way to looking ahead, to the Europe of the future.
