Enlargement and Neighbourhood Commissioner Štefan Füle told the European Parliament yesterday (5 February) that the EU’s role in Ukraine was to facilitate dialogue and avoid ‘worst-case scenarios’, including a state of emergency. The Parliament is expected to adopt a resolution on Ukraine today, with seven drafts having already been tabled by MEPs.
Positions
Hans van Baalen (VVD, Netherlands), ALDE spokesman on Ukraine added: "It is crucial for the EU and the US to take a common position towards Ukraine. Furthermore, it must be made clear that Russia has no legitimate say in Ukrainian internal affairs. The Russian doctrine of 'near abroad' does not exist and should not be recognized".
