European leaders should direct efforts towards security issues instead of discussing representation
European Parliament President Roberta Metsola stated that finding a path to peace in Ukraine is the primary task for European leaders. She emphasized the importance of stable funding to strengthen security across the entire continent. This was reported by Ukrinform, according to the portal PromPolitInform.
During the informal meeting of the European Council held in Dublin on November 13, 2026, Roberta Metsola addressed European state leaders. She stressed that discussions should focus on concrete steps towards resolving the war rather than on issues regarding Europe’s personnel representation in future negotiations.
Stable security funding
The President of the European Parliament paid particular attention to the economic aspect of supporting Ukraine. She noted that allocating funds is not an act of charity but a critical tool for ensuring the stability and protection of European borders.
According to Metsola, current obligations to Kyiv must be supported by a reliable and predictable financial foundation. This is the only way to ensure that assistance remains effective in the long term.
Europe’s unified position
Ahead of the European Political Community summit, Metsola also emphasized the need for a unified voice within the European community. She noted that recent talks in Abu Dhabi demonstrated real prospects for establishing a just and lasting peace.
The current agenda for EU leaders includes reviewing the peace process and reaffirming their readiness to provide Ukraine with security guarantees. The goal is to consolidate efforts that will allow for ending armed aggression and ensuring stable regional development.
