MOSCOW, 10 June. /TASS/. The results of the European Parliament (EP) elections show that the majority will be pro-European and pro-Ukrainian, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the media.
"The chances are that there will be a pro-European and pro-Ukrainian majority. We can see that. However, the future composition of the European Parliament is yet to be analysed," Peskov noted when asked about the outcome of the EP elections and the victory of the European People's Party, of which European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen is a member.
The 2024-2029 EP elections take place in all EU countries from 6 to 9 June. Voting took place according to each country's national laws: the Netherlands voted on 6 June, Ireland and the Czech Republic on 7 June, Italy, Latvia, Malta, Slovakia on 8 June and most of the EU countries on 9 June.
On 9 June, French President Emmanuel Macron decided to dissolve the National Assembly (the lower house of parliament) and call early elections. The last time the lower house of parliament was dissolved was by President Jacques Chirac in 1997.
