Nicolás Pascual de la Parte (PPE). – Mr President, dear colleagues, on the battlefields of Ukraine is not only the freedom and the security and democracy and independence of the Ukrainian people, it's also the security, the freedom, the independence of all us Europeans. That's why we have promised to keep unwavering support and unwavering assistance to the Ukrainian people and the Ukrainian Government as long as it takes.

But this is more at stake. Putin invading Ukraine has put into question the whole international order. There are quite a number now of autocrats and dictators around the world watching if, by brutal force, you can change internationally respected frontiers, if by brutal force and invasion, you can impose a government, whether or not by brutal force, you can also buy the independence of a neighbouring country.

All this is at stake, and that's why we have to commit to our promises concerning different commitments. The first one is to keep our quick delivery, speedy delivery of weapons without any undue delay. Secondly, we have to leave all the artificial restrictions to the delivery of our weapons and to the use of weapons, whether in Ukrainian soil or in Russian soil, in legitimate targets. It means, as well, to increase our financial package, whether by macroeconomic assistance as well as investments, and to increase and ramp up as well our humanitarian assistance for the winter, which is around the corner.
