The European Parliament has refused to fund the EU Council until Ukraine receives Patriot air defense systems.
This was reported by European Pravda.
At the meeting, MPs supported the idea of suspending funding for the EU Council and switching to the issue of transferring additional air defense systems to Ukraine.
Former Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt was the author of this idea. It was supported by 515 MEPs, with 62 against.
"Parliament refuses discharge of the Council budget until European Council decided to support Ukraine with additional Patriot anti-missile systems," the politician wrote on the social network "X" (formerly Twitter).
Earlier, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell criticized the West for its delay in helping Ukraine.
