Metsola: EU ‘let itself be surprised’ by war in Ukraine

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine revealed Europe’s complacency and a “new paradigm” is needed, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said at the Jacques Delors Institute’s annual conference on Tuesday (28 June).

“Russia’s invasion has exposed the failure of our collective memory. We had become accustomed to living in democracies and forgot that some of our neighbours want to see democracy disappear," Metsola told an audience of 100 young pro-Europeans at the conference on Tuesday (28 June).
