Michel Yakovleff

They are fighting for life and freedom, so I realise that if the Ukrainians lose, we lose too.

Ariane Mnouchkine
Putin's obsession is the destruction of the European Union, whereas Donald Trump has nothing but contempt for Europe and international law.​​​​​
​​​​​
Nicolas Tenzer
‘The confiscation of Russian assets is a decisive measure for Ukraine, it is also a founding precedent for respect for international law’
​​​
Julien Bayou
Given that Putin only understands the language of force, it is high time we made him understand that he cannot be rewarded for his war crimes by gaining 20% of Ukrainian territory.​​​​​​​
Gilles Chevalier
This programme of deportation of children from Ukraine is extremely revealing of Russia's genocidal intent towards Ukraine.​
​

Marc Levy
We need to accelerate European defence, a European army, such that the European community can bring together those states that are not members of the EU but have a vision that is close to it.​​​
​
Daniel Cohn-Bendit
Russia’s war on Ukraine is, at its core, a battle over sovereignty. Not just in the legal sense, but in the raw, unfiltered reality of power and survival. It is a war over who gets to decide Ukraine’s future—Ukraine itself, or an external force imposing its will through military occupation, coercion, and exhaustion. ​​​
​
Jade McGlynn
What leaders in Europe have to face, as a pro-Russia, anti-Ukraine position solidifies in the Republican Party, is the prospect of having to do most of the heavy lifting to help Ukraine win the war. That is no small task. Europe would have to expand its manufacturing capacities both for ammunition and other nuts-and-bolts military needs and for the more advanced systems, such as long-range missiles, that it would have to supply on its own.
Philips P. O'Brien
The reality is that, for many years, Europe has largely slipstreamed behind the U.S. on security matters. This has provided real benefits to the U.S., by solidifying American leadership in the world’s most important strategic grouping while allowing European states to spend far less on defense than they would otherwise have to. The differential also means that Europe, on its own, lacks the breadth and depth of U.S. military capabilities.
Phillips P. O'Brien
Ukraine can only resist if Europe unites against the threatening empires.
