1000 days unbroken

Volodymyr Zelenskyy

For the EPP Group, Europe’s fate is being decided on the battlefields of Ukraine. Europe must fully support Ukraine's victory. On Tuesday, an extraordinary plenary session with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will mark 1,000 days since Russia's full-scale invasion. "At the start of the war, President Zelensky’s decision to stay in Kyiv despite threats to his life preserved Ukraine's independence and shaped the region's future. Now, 1,000 days later, Ukraine continues its proud defence against Russian aggression. The European Parliament remains committed to uniting the West for Ukrainians' freedom and their future in NATO and the EU,” says Andrzej Halicki MEP, EPP Group Vice-Chair for Foreign Affairs.

Automotive Summit in the European Parliament

On Wednesday, EPP Group Chairman Manfred Weber will meet the key players in Europe‘s automotive sector to discuss their needs and concerns. “Our automotive industry is Europe’s backbone. It thrives on innovation, competitiveness, and a bold global vision, not on red tape and ideological nonsense. As the EPP Group, we have no doubt that the future of mobility must take place in Europe, not China. We need a plan to ensure that car production stays in Europe. It’s good for the planet, it’s good for workers, it’s good for Europe. Competitiveness, growth, and strategic independence—that’s the road Europe must drive on. Together, we have what it takes to lead the way forward," Weber emphasises ahead of Brussels’ first Automotive Summit.
