Parliament's resolution on the EU position on a just and lasting peace for Ukraine urges the EU and member states to take more responsibility for European security and support Ukraine, insisting that Ukraine and Europe must be included in any decisions. It demands that any peace agreement be grounded in international law, preserve Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, include robust security guarantees, and ensure Russian accountability and compensation. It calls for a reparation loan backed by frozen Russian assets, no sanctions relief until a peace agreement is implemented, and a peacekeeping mission with a UN mandate if peace is achieved.

Key points

  1. Urges the EU and member states to assume more responsibility for European security and provide unwavering support to Ukraine, insisting that nothing about Ukraine or Europe be decided without them.
  2. Notes US efforts but considers US policy ambivalence detrimental; presses the EU to show leadership and work with the US and partners for negotiations grounded in international law.
  3. Stresses that peace must be based on international law, strengthen European security, preserve Ukrainian sovereignty, and be acceptable to Ukraine; peace cannot be achieved by yielding to the aggressor.
  4. Any peace agreement must be preceded by a ceasefire, backed by monitoring and deterrence measures, and underpinned by robust EU and US security guarantees to prevent renewed aggression.
  5. Peace agreement must not limit Ukraine's defense capabilities and must offer security guarantees equivalent to Article 5 of the Washington Treaty and Article 42(7) of the TEU, avoiding a repeat of the Budapest Memorandum.
  6. Agreement must oblige Russia to compensate Ukraine for all harm, ensure accountability for the crime of aggression and war crimes before the ICC and Special Tribunal, and guarantee return of prisoners and kidnapped children.
  7. Calls on member states to adopt a legally and financially sound 'reparation loan' to Ukraine backed by frozen Russian assets; their fate is not negotiable without the EU.
  8. Recalls that occupied Ukrainian territory will not be legally recognized as Russian; calls for a peacekeeping mission with UN mandate on both sides of the line of contact if peace is achieved.
  9. Any agreement with Russia must include a commitment to cease hybrid warfare against the EU and partners.
  10. No sanctions will be lifted before a peace agreement is negotiated and implemented; if Russia refuses serious talks, the EU should impose further substantial sanctions.
