EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV(2026)09-15(2-0388-0000).
Herr President. Dear colleagues.
Who wants a war needs a pretense. History is full of examples. There was
the alleged Polish attack on the Gleiwitz radio station in 1939, there were
the alleged weapons of mass destruction of Iraq, and now it is the alleged
Russian drones in Leipzig.
Unfortunately, unsupported assertions are again presented as facts, Herr
Lagodinsky, even though experts like politicians contradict. As first of all
U.S. American President Donald Trump has clearly said, Putin does not
want to attack Europe. And you, dear colleagues, want to protect the EU
from foreign attacks? Where were you then as Nord Stream was blown up
- European infrastructure valued at 16 billion euros?
The German investigators were those who said that was a Ukrainian
commando. Until today, years later, no condemnation by the EU
Parliament. Instead, you support the Ukraine which does not belong to
the EU, which does not belong to NATO, and pushes our people into a
war. We need peace and diplomacy and not preparations for war.
