Non-binding texts in which Parliament states its position on a topic. They carry political weight but do not create law.
Parliament adopted a resolution on the 11th year of Russia's occupation of Crimea and the deteriorating human rights situation there, focusing on three detainees. The text condemns Russia's war of aggression, demands withdrawal from all Ukrainian territory, and calls for an end to human rights violations against residents of occupied areas. It urges the immediate release of Iryna Danylovych, Tofik Abdulhaziiev, and Amet Suleymanov, and insists Russia provide medical care and allow contact with families and international bodies. Parliament also calls for a Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine and forwards the resolution to EU institutions and other bodies.

One day of voting in plenary. Each subject is a report, resolution, agreement or objection; they are grouped by kind of decision, and each group says what “adopted” means there.
The ballots
Members vote on amendments and on parts of the text first, then on the text as a whole. That final, decisive vote is the result shown at the top of each subject.
Who voted how
Only roll-call votes record each Member’s vote — open one for every name and the breakdown by group. A show of hands records the outcome only.
Document & procedure
Each subject rests on a document (a committee report, a motion, a Council or Commission text) and belongs to a procedure, the whole file that can span years.
