Grzegorz Braun caused controversy in the European Parliament. First with an anti-Ukrainian statement, and later with a cry of “thieves, thieves” in reaction to the vote on aid for Ukraine.

The European Parliament gave the green light to the loan on Tuesday Ukraine amounting to up to EUR 35 billion, to be repaid from the proceeds from frozen Russian assets. This loan is the EU's contribution to the G7 support for Ukraine agreed in June, totaling approximately EUR 45 billion.

During the discussion, Confederation politician Grzegorz Braun came to the podium. – What is this about? Is this a bank robbery? I don't want to participate in such activities. You are discussing money that is not yours, he said.

He also repeated the anti-Ukrainian narrative pushed, among others, by the authorities in the Kremlin. – The Kiev regime is probably one of the most corrupt and deadly regimes in the history of Europe – argued the Polish politician.
