to the Commission
Rule 144
Erik Kaliňák (NI)

Following the Commission’s proposal to pledge up to EUR 40 billion in military assistance to Ukraine this year, with each country contributing according to the size of its economy, Spain and Italy voiced their opposition[1].

In the light of the above:

• 1.What further steps does the Commission plan to take?
• 2.Is the Commission not aware that Member States are financially exhausted by the measures to support Ukraine that the Commission is continuously proposing?
• 3.Does the Commission not feel that the EU should become more actively involved in pressing for a peaceful dialogue instead of endless military support and the associated need for continuous funding?
