Members of the European Parliament called on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to transfer modern weapons and air defense systems to Ukraine for immediate deployment.

 This is stated in the annual report for 2022 on the implementation of the General Security and Defense Policy approved on Wednesday.

 MEPs also called for the immediate deployment of modern weapons and air defense systems in Ukraine.

 They emphasize that Ukraine defends its territorial integrity within internationally recognized borders and urgently needs military aid and heavy weapons to win the war.

 "The EU and its member states should increase military, political and humanitarian aid to Ukraine and strengthen their defenses against Russian threats to European security. The EU's response to Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine is being closely watched by autocracies around the world and will have a significant impact on their behavior in the international arena", - warn the members of the European Parliament.
