This resolution condemns Russia's drone incursions into EU member states' airspace, calling for improved detection and defense, new funding, stricter sanctions, and visa restrictions.¶¶¶
Key points
- Condemns Russia's deliberate violations of EU member states' airspace and expresses solidarity with affected countries.¶
- Calls for equipping authorities to counter drones at critical infrastructure, using layered defense with kinetic and electronic means.¶
- Calls for a new off-budget financial facility to pool national defense budgets, open to non-EU countries, with improved oversight.¶
- Supports the AGILE programme for rapid defence innovation and calls for scaling it up, with support for SMEs and start-ups.¶
- Welcomes the 21st sanctions package but urges strict implementation and additional sanctions to close loopholes, especially in non-EU re-export hubs.¶
- Regrets the lack of alumina export restrictions in the 21st sanctions package and calls for their inclusion in the next package.¶
- Calls on member states to strictly implement visa rules for Russian nationals, with heightened scrutiny for tourists but safeguarding access for activists and journalists.¶
- Reiterates condemnation of Russia's war against Ukraine and demands immediate withdrawal and compensation.¶
Who is affected
- EU member states, especially Romania, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and their civilian authorities and critical infrastructure operators.¶¶
- Russian nationals applying for short-stay visas to the EU, with stricter scrutiny for tourism.¶
- Non-EU countries such as Norway and the UK, which could participate in the proposed off-budget financial facility.¶
- European dual-use goods producers and exporters, as sanctions aim to prevent their goods from reaching Russian drones.¶
