“We may be united here in Europe, but maybe we have to be more assertive in our foreign policy.” – Javier Maroto, Deputy President of the Senate of Spain.

   At the Second Parliamentary Summit of the International Crimea Platform, the Deputy President of the Senate of Spain, Javier Maroto, addressed the participants, echoing the call of the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Ruslan Stefanchuk, to unite and speak in one voice, and stressed that there is political unity in Spain in support of Ukraine.

   Javier Maroto noted that Western democracies are also suffering from the attacks of Putin’s regime, in particular from disinformation spread by Russia. The Deputy President of the Senate of Spain also stressed the importance of political unity in supporting Ukraine outside the EU, as Russian propaganda has a great influence in other countries.
