The possible visit of Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky has been questioned for security reasons. The Italian media and the Twitter account of the European People’s Party have already welcomed Zelensky, while the trip is being prepared in the deepest secrecy. This carries risks.
According to the president of the European Council, Charles Michel, the Ukrainian president has been welcome to the European Parliament for more than a year, but a real visit has not yet taken place. Rumors have circulated that this would happen next Thursday, and while the premature welcome message – which has since been removed – could provide a clue, Michel refuses to confirm or deny Zelensky’s arrival.
According to Europe journalist Geert Jan Hahn, however, it is almost a given that Zelenski is on his way. For example, invitations were even sent to MEPs to join Zelensky’s visit. “Everything would now be set in motion to see if he can speak to the European Parliament during the European summit on Thursday morning,” Hahn said.
Calendars
That also includes agendas, he points out. These are currently being drafted. Having said that, it can be assumed that the European Parliament actually wants Zelensky to come,’ he concludes. “Just like Kiev. Apart from the security measures.’
Those security measures are now also the crux. European Council President Michel accuses the European People’s Party of potentially endangering Zelensky’s safety by mentioning that he may be on his way. The Ukrainian president left his country only once during the war, to visit US President Biden in Washington.
