EP Foreign Affairs Committee to hold an extraordinary meeting on July 22 in Brussels

The Ukrainian side has initiated an extraordinary meeting of the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs in order to discuss the situation in Ukraine.

Commenting on the initiative, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin said that despite the new international context of the situation in Ukraine following the tragedy of the Malaysian plane, and despite the obvious involvement in this crime of illegal terrorist groups that operate with the direct assistance of Moscow, Russia continues ignoring the demands of the international community and refuses to take a constructive approach in order to de-escalate the situation.

An in-camera meeting of the enlarged Bureau of the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs will be held in the afternoon on July 22 in Brussels.
