The President of the European Parliament, Robert Metzol, considers it necessary to impose sanctions on all members of the United Russia party, a political force that supports Russian President Vladimir Putin.

She stated this in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine .

“We need to extend sanctions to all members of United Russia – all members of Putin’s party. There are about 2 million of them, and they are all politically visible. I think this can be done,” Mezzola said.

According to the President of the European Parliament, information about the massacres in Bucha was obtained during her stay in Kyiv, where she was on a visit.

“We were still in Ukraine when we started receiving these shocking images on Saturday morning. I think that the leaders, all without exception in the EU and around the world, will react in the most severe way,” she said.

Asked about the EU’s ability to continue to decide unanimously on sanctions against Russia in the light of the recent re-election of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has a reputation as an ally of Putin, Mezzola said: “For me, the position has not changed and should not change. we need to look to the future, where we are not dependent on the Kremlin for energy at all. This is where we are directly or indirectly financing this war. “

“Of course, each country has its own circumstances, its own reality – there are those who are 100% dependent on Russia. But I think our message is that we will not stop until we stop being dependent on Russia at all,” – she added.

Earlier, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki suggested that the European Union impose sanctions on all members of the United Russia party. According to him, it is necessary to stop the Russian military machine in Ukraine by any means.

According to Russian media, as of November 1, 2021, there are 2,338,471 people in the United Russia party. Джерело: https://biz.censor.net/n3332139
