The Parliament Magazine | Od vojenské podpory po členství v EU: Co znamená nový europarlament pro Ukrajinu

Výsledky eurovoleb jsou pro Ukrajinu příznivé, středopravicová Evropská lidová strana (EPP) získala nejvíce křesel a tím i posílila pozici předsedkyně Evropské komise Ursuly von der Leyen, která silně podporuje Ukrajinu. Na druhé straně, i když některé skupiny napravo od EPP také zaznamenaly úspěchy, jejich podpora Ukrajině je smíšená. Situaci pro magazín The Parliament komentoval Žiga Faktor, zástupce ředitele a vedoucí bruselské kanceláře Institutu EUROPEUM.
