   Russia’s War of Aggression Against Ukraine

   Since Russia launched its full-scale illegal invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the European Union has been standing firmly with Ukraine and its people. The EU has condemned Russia’s aggression, imposed sanctions, and provided significant financial, humanitarian and military support. As the war continues, the EU remains resolute in its support for Ukraine. The fight is not only about territorial integrity, but also about defending European values: democracy, sovereignty and peace.

The European Parliament has taken a strong stance, recognising menstrual poverty as a significant barrier to gender equality and full social and economic participation. In this episode, we explore what the European Parliament is doing to combat this problem.
