This resolution condemns Russia's invasion of Ukraine and drone incursions into EU member states, calling for accountability, proportionate defense, and diplomatic solutions. It demands protection of nuclear plants, an exclusion zone around Zaporizhzhia, and resumption of arms control talks, while opposing rearmament and supporting EU peace envoys.

Key points

  2. Reaffirms commitment to peace and diplomatic solutions, rejecting war as a policy tool.
  3. Condemns airspace violations as breaches of international law; affirms member states' right to defend with proportionate, transparent, coordinated means.
