Effort to Permit Ukraine's Use of EU Arms on Russian Soil

At midday, Members of the European Parliament will cast their votes on a proposed resolution that encourages EU nations to remove limitations on the use of Western-supplied weaponry in Ukraine for targeting valid military objectives within Russian borders. The resolution will also advocate for the continuation and broadening of EU sanctions on Russia and Belarus, as well as on China, Iran, and North Korea due to their backing of Russia's unlawful military campaign.

At midday, members of the European Parliament are anticipated to urge Venezuelan officials to honor the outcomes of the July 28 elections and to make the official voting data public. A proposed document up for a vote by the MEPs prompts the EU to acknowledge Edmundo González as the legitimate president and recommends that the EU and its member countries seek an international arrest warrant for Maduro on charges of crimes against humanity.
