Talking Europe – Europe’s military support for Ukraine: Has the EU risen to the occasion?

Talking Europe hosts two MEPs who are diametrically opposed on the question of EU military assistance to Ukraine. “The European Union is not a military union. It is a peace union. It should be an honest broker, a mediator between Russia and Ukraine,” argues Slovak MEP Katarina Roth Nevedalova. “I’m not against individual member states supplying weapons to Ukraine, but this should not be a common EU position,” she adds. Belgian MEP Assita Kanko counters: “If I was Bambi, unarmed, why would I negotiate peace with a lion? I would see peace, but the lion would only see a meal.” Kanko continues: “Neutrality is not very far from complicity.”

The action was co-financed by the European Union in the frame of the European Parliament’s grant programme in the field of communication. The European Parliament was not involved in its preparation and is, in no case, responsible for or bound by the information or opinions expressed in the context of this action. In accordance with applicable law, the authors, interviewed people, publishers or programme broadcasters are solely responsible. The European Parliament can also not be held liable for direct or indirect damage that may result from the implementation of the action.

Programme produced by Isabelle Romero, Sophie Samaille and Perrine Desplats
