Parliament's resolution on the 2023 and 2024 Commission reports on Ukraine condemns Russia's war, supports Ukraine's EU accession, and urges reforms in democracy, rule of law, anti-corruption, and fundamental rights. It calls for continued military, financial, and political support, including sanctions, asset confiscation, and security guarantees, and stresses the need for Ukraine to maintain reform momentum.
