Parliament's resolution on continuing EU support for Ukraine condemns Russia's war of aggression and demands an immediate ceasefire and withdrawal of all Russian forces from Ukraine's internationally recognised territory. It urges massively increased military support to Ukraine, including joint procurement of ammunition and lifting restrictions on using Western weapons against military targets in Russia. It calls for stronger sanctions, including a full embargo on Russian fossil fuels and liquefied natural gas, and for confiscation of Russian state assets to fund Ukraine's defence and reconstruction. It supports ICC investigations and the establishment of a special tribunal for the crime of aggression, and urges protection of the ICC from US sanctions.

Key points

  1. Reaffirms that Russia's war of aggression is a grave violation of international law and the UN Charter, threatening European security and stability.
  2. Demands that Russia immediately cease attacks, withdraw all forces and military equipment from Ukraine's internationally recognised territory, end forced deportations, and release all detained Ukrainians.
  3. Urges the EU, member states and allies to massively increase military support to Ukraine to enable it to liberate its territory and deter further aggression.
  4. Supports a just and lasting peace based on respect for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, accountability for war crimes, and Russian reparations; rejects compromise proposals undermining international law.
  5. Disapproves of attempts to blackmail Ukraine into surrendering; insists that peace can only be reached through strength and effective security guarantees.
  6. Expresses strong disapproval of recent US statements and actions that undermine Ukraine's security and embolden Russia, endangering European security and the transatlantic partnership.
  7. Calls on all member states to provide additional military assistance, engage in joint procurement of ammunition, and invest in Ukraine's defence industry.
  8. Calls for lifting restrictions on using Western weapons against military targets on Russian territory that are used to attack Ukraine.
  9. Calls for a full embargo on Russian fossil fuels and liquefied natural gas, anti-circumvention measures, and actions against Russia's shadow fleet.
  10. Reiterates that Russia's attacks on civilians, sexual violence, deportations, and forced adoptions constitute war crimes; all perpetrators must be held accountable.
  11. Supports ICC investigations and Ukraine's ratification of the Rome Statute; urges activation of the Blocking Statute to protect the ICC from US sanctions.
  12. Calls for confiscation of Russian state assets immobilised under EU sanctions to support Ukraine's defence and reconstruction.
