This resolution condemns Russia's drone incursions and hybrid attacks on EU member states, expresses solidarity with affected countries, and calls for enhanced defence, sanctions, and civilian protection. It urges support for Ukraine, including military aid and defence industrial cooperation, and proposes new initiatives like a drone warfare centre and hybrid sanctions framework.
