The Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal had a meeting with a delegation of the European Parliament in Kyiv on February 1.

"Your visit to Ukraine once again proves the European Union's commitment to supporting Ukraine," said Denys Shmyhal.

The Prime Minister and members of the European Parliament touched upon economic and energy issues, as well as security situation around Ukraine. In particular, the interlocutors discussed the possible strengthening of sanctions against Russia and mechanisms to counter the launch of the Nord Stream 2 project.

The Head of the Ukrainian Government thanked the European Union for its consistent support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. According to the Prime Minister, today's decision of the European Commission to provide Ukraine with a new emergency macro-financial assistance package of EUR 1.2 billion proves that fact. The PM expressed hope that the European Parliament would also support this initiative.

The European Parliament’s team was represented by David McAllister, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Nathalie Loiseau, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Security and Defense, as well as MEPs Viola von Cramon-Taubadel, Tonino Picula, Adam Bielan, Petras Auštrevičius, Radosław Sikorski, Jaak Madison, Michael Gahler and Pietro Ducci.
