Parliament condemns Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and demands immediate withdrawal of all forces and compensation for damage. It calls for accelerated military and humanitarian aid, including air defence systems, and for Ukraine's EU integration and security guarantees. It stresses the need for justice, including ICC support and a special tribunal, and for a full ban on Russian fossil fuel imports.

Key points

  1. Condemns Russia's war and demands immediate withdrawal of all forces and military equipment from Ukraine's internationally recognised territory, plus compensation.
  2. Welcomes the Commission's EUR 145 million humanitarian aid but calls for more support for front-line and displaced people.
  3. Reaffirms Ukraine's right to choose its alliances, including EU and NATO membership, and stresses EU accession as a security priority.
  4. Calls for accelerating Ukraine's single market integration, including the ACAA agreement and sectoral integration in steel, chemicals, machinery and digital industries.
  5. Urges Europe to develop a strategy for Ukraine's future, step up military and diplomatic support, and ensure credible security guarantees, including a European-led, US-backed intervention.
  6. Calls for the strongest acceleration of military assistance, prioritising air and missile defence systems like Patriot, SAMP/T, NASAMS, IRIS-T, and other needs.
  7. Underlines the need to expand EUMAM Ukraine's mandate, integrate Ukraine's defence industry, operationalise the Ukraine Assistance Fund, and make Ukraine associated with the EDF.
  8. Calls for scaling up energy assistance to Ukraine with long-term mechanisms for recovery and modernisation.
  9. Stresses that peace negotiations must prioritise Ukraine's sovereignty and justice for war crimes, and supports ICC investigation and a special tribunal for the crime of aggression.
  10. Condemns deportation and forced assimilation of Ukrainian children, calls for their return, and supports the Bring Kids Back UA initiative.
  11. Calls for recognition of ecocide as a war crime, support for environmental recovery, and documentation of environmental destruction.
  12. Calls for a full and immediate ban on Russian fossil fuel imports and stricter sanctions implementation, and for warning against deceitful recruitment of foreign fighters.
