Our guests this week include Robert Biedron, Polish MEP from the Socialist group, Deirdre Clune, outgoing Irish MEP from the European People's Party and Jaume Duch, the spokesperson for the European Parliament. The panel picked apart the highs and lows of the last 5 years at the European Parliament. From sealing deals on a migration pact after a decade of debate and the world's first ever AI regulations, MEPs sounded satisfied that a lot of compromises had been clinched but still concerned about the major inequalities across Europe. Jaume Duch hopes people will vote this June. “Now it's about ...

Washington will provide Ukraine additional Patriot missiles for its air defence systems as part of a massive €5.6 billion additional aid package, US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin announced on Friday. The missiles will be used to replenish previously supplied Patriot air defence systems. They are part of a package that also includes more munitions for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS) and additional gear to integrate Western air defence launchers, missiles and radars into Ukraine's existing weaponry - much of which still dates back to the Soviet era. Ukrainian Presi...

A Moscow court on Thursday imposed a 50,000-rouble (€505) fine on a TV presenter and actress who gained notoriety for hosting an "almost naked" party, saying her social media posts calling for peace discredited the military. Anastasia Ivleeva sparked an explosion of public indignation in the increasingly traditionalist country last December when she hosted a party encouraging guests to wear almost nothing. Ivleeva did not appear in court on Thursday for the non-criminal case, in which she was fined for two social media posts in the early days of Russia's invasion of Ukraine that called for pea...

Belarus claimed on Thursday it had intercepted attempted drone strikes by Lithuania on its territory – but Lithuanian authorities have dismissed the claim as a fiction. Ivan Tertel, head of the Belarusian Committee for State Security (KGB), said: "the KGB, in cooperation with colleagues from other structures, has recently carried out a number of acute security measures, which made it possible to prevent attacks by combat drones from the territory of Lithuania on objects in Minsk and its suburbs." He did not present evidence for the claim or give any details, claiming "radicals" in Lithuania an...

Earlier in April, almost all member states signed the declaration of La Hulpe, together with the EU institutions and the Belgian presidency, as a strong signal of the importance of social policy and the European Pillar of Social Rights. But just days ago, the European Parliament ratified a new set of fiscal rules that the Council agreed upon last December, which signals a troubling return toward austerity measures. If you remember when governments across Europe slashed budgets, cut services, and generally made life harder for everyone, then you know why many are alarmed by this change in polic...

A Russian attack on NATO would end in defeat for Moscow, but NATO must increase its defences, Poland’s Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski told parliament on Thursday. Sikorski was describing the new foreign policy direction of Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government, explaining to a world audience and those at home how Poland's priorities have changed since last year's election. He said Poland wants to return to the group of countries which sets the agenda of the European Union. Tusk’s government replaced a conservative administration, led by the right-wing Law and Justice party. While Law and Ju...

Russia and Ukraine have held the first face-to-face negotiations to exchange children displaced by the war. Forty-eight children are set to be swapped under the deal agreed in Qatar, according to Moscow's children's rights commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova. She added the parties had agreed 29 children would go to Ukraine and 19 to Russia. Rostyslav was abducted near Kherson in Ukraine and managed to escape from Russian military training. He told reporters the "scariest thing was when I was locked in an isolation cell. I wanted to escape from there, but I realised that the consequences would be t...

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Wednesday Europe must step up help for Ukraine – but stuck to his refusal to send long-range Taurus cruise missiles to Kyiv. Scholz spoke after meeting British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in Berlin, shortly after his counterpart announced the UK will increase defence spending to 2.5 per cent of GDP by the end of the decade. The two countries are Europe's biggest suppliers of military assistance to Ukraine as it counters Russia's full-scale invasion. Both vowed to keep that up "for as long as it takes". Ukraine's cause was boosted this week when the US Congr...

Recently-passed US military aid, expected to arrive by mid-summer if approved by President Joe Biden on Wednesday, will help Ukraine avoid defeat in its war with Russia. Winning will still be a long slog. Ukraine will receive $61 billion in military aid – enabling it to slow Russia's army's advances and block strikes on troops and civilians. It will also give Ukraine time to plan on taking back a fifth of the country now under Russian control. The US House of Representatives approved the package on Saturday after months of consternation. Three days later the Senate passed the $95 billion (€88 ...
