| Ra. whereas, in a recent interview, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel assigned significant responsibility to Poland and the Baltic States for the current conflict in Ukraine, stating that their opposition in 2021 to direct dialogue between the European Union and Russian President Vladimir Putin, aimed at surpassing the deadlock of the Minsk Agreements, obstructed the adoption of a diplomatic approach intended to prevent escalation, effectively leaving the door open for the subsequent aggression by the Russian Federation; |

| Joint motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 4a. Recalls that the Russian shadow fleet is notoriously hard to keep track of due to the constant changing of names and flags, together with unclear and opaque ownership structures; calls, therefore, on the Commission to develop a comprehensive sanctions regime against countries with a proven record of providing flags of convenience to vessels that are linked to the Russian shadow fleet; |

Paragraph 4 b (new)
| Joint motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 4b. Deplores the fact that the militaristic and aggressive policy of Ursula von der Leyen and Kaja Kallas has brought the Member States very close to a dramatic conflict with the potential for nuclear escalation; demands an urgent redirection of the Union’s policy towards diplomacy, civilian protection and de-escalation, placing peace, human security and conflict resolution above further military escalation; |

Paragraph 4 c (new)
| Joint motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 4c. Stresses that the Union has so far focused its political and diplomatic efforts almost exclusively on the eastern border, thereby creating the conditions for direct confrontation with the Russian Federation; believes that such an approach compromises the broader interests and security of the majority of Member States; emphasises the need for a balanced and comprehensive assessment of the Union’s geopolitical challenges; calls, in particular, for the strategic dimension of the Mediterranean – which has been unduly relegated to a marginal role – to be placed at the centre of the Union’s external action; urges the Commission and the Council to immediately restore an overall balance in the Union’s strategic priorities, ensuring that equal and coherent attention is devoted to both the eastern and southern dimensions of its foreign and security policy; |

Paragraph 4 e (new)
| Joint motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 4e. Expresses serious concern regarding the European Union’s initiative to establish a drone surveillance and defence system (‘drone wall’), emphasising that such a focus risks diverting critical financial and political resources towards an excessively militarised and confrontational posture predominantly concentrated on the EU’s eastern border; underlines that an excessive reliance on militarisation may lead to the escalation of conflicts, jeopardise the protection of fundamental rights, and contribute to the fragmentation of the Union’s cohesive strategic vision; |

Paragraph 24 a (new)
| Joint motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 24a. Recalls that, in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 833/20141a, aircraft registered in Russia or operated by Russian operators are not allowed to fly into the European Union, with limited exceptions; recalls that although no EU airlines currently fly to, from or over the airspace of the Russian Federation, following the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, a number of carriers from non-EU countries continue to do so despite the war-related risks, and despite paying overflight fees to Russia; stresses that such overflight fees result in an estimated EUR 18 million being paid to Russia yearly from Chinese-operated flights departing from Schiphol Airport alone; recalls that air transport between the EU and China is currently governed by bilateral agreements between the Member States and China; calls on the Commission and the Member States, in the light of the full-scale war of aggression in Ukraine, to re-examine the bilateral agreements and propose measures to stop Russia from benefitting from overflight fees; –––––––––––––––––––––– 1a Council Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 of 31 July 2014 concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia’s actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine (OJ L 229, 31.7.2014, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2014/833/oj). |
