We see that Avdiivka needs cash aid, among other things. "

According to Dariusz Rosati, the visit of his colleagues to the front-line zone was quite emotional. Many of the parliamentarians were surprised by the conditions in which the local residents had to survive for the fourth year.

"One of the main goals of our visit is to tell you that you are not alone, that Europe is with you. There are still people who do not have a clear idea of what the situation is here.

We must inform the whole Europe who is the victim and who is the aggressor. The scale of needs, with regard to technical and financial assistance, they are huge, so we will try to convince our colleagues to expand the amount of assistance for Ukraine”, Rosati added.
