The EU Parliament President is backing the use of longer-range missiles by Ukraine in its defence against Russia.
Roberta Metsola wants Germany to quickly deliver its long-range Taurus system to Kyiv.
But Chancellor Olaf Scholz has been staunchly opposed to sending the missile system.
Metsola's statement follows Russia's use of a new type of missile in an attack on Thursday.
It targeted Dnipro city in the central-east region of Ukraine.
The hypersonic Oreshnik missile was used by Russia for the first time in the war.
President Vladimir Putin says the weapon will continue to be tested.
