‘No one more deserving’: EU confers Sakharov Prize to Ukraine's ‘brave people’

 

Sakharov Prize 2022: "No one is more deserving," European Parliament president Roberta Metsola said.

The European Parliament awarded its top human rights prize to the people of Ukraine on Wednesday amid Russia's ongoing invasion which started in February.

"This award is for those Ukrainians fighting on the ground, for those who have been forced to flee, for those who have lost relatives and friends, for all those who stand up and fight for who and what they believe in," European Parliament president Roberta Metsola said.
