This resolution condemns Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and demands full withdrawal, accountability, and reparations. It calls on the EU to increase military, financial, and humanitarian support, maintain sanctions, and support Ukraine's EU and NATO integration.¶¶¶
Key points
- Condemns Russia's war and demands immediate withdrawal, release of detainees, and compensation; supports a Special Tribunal for the crime of aggression covering Russian and Belarusian leadership.¶
- Stresses that a just peace requires full restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity and security guarantees, including NATO collective defence; other guarantees like the Budapest Memorandum are meaningless.¶

- Calls for building a 'coalition of the able and willing' with like-minded partners and maintaining broad international support for Ukraine.¶
- Supports Ukraine's Peace Formula, insists no negotiations without Ukraine and the EU, and recognises Zelenskyy as legitimate leader until elections can be held.¶
- Calls on EU member states to increase defence spending beyond 2% of GDP, strengthen European and Ukrainian defence industries, and commit at least 0.25% of GDP annually to military support for Ukraine.¶
- Welcomes the 16th sanctions package and calls for further sanctions on Russian sectors, a full embargo on fossil fuels, and measures to confiscate frozen Russian assets.¶
- Welcomes the Ukraine Facility and Loan Cooperation Mechanism but urges new resources for reconstruction and legal mechanisms to use frozen Russian assets for defence and reparations.¶
- Reaffirms Ukraine's future in the EU and NATO, calls for accelerated accession talks, and notes NATO's open door policy with no third-party veto.¶
- Condemns executions of prisoners of war and calls for increased pressure on Russia to comply with international law and allow access to prisoners.¶
- Condemns the war's impact on children and calls for increased EU support for education, healthcare, mental health, and child protection, including in reconstruction and EU accession.¶
