✦ What this vote decides · AI summary, based on the text voted on

Parliament adopted a resolution reaffirming its condemnation of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and demanding an immediate, complete and unconditional withdrawal of Russian forces. The text urges the EU and member states to massively increase military support to Ukraine, lift restrictions on using Western weapons against targets on Russian territory, and enhance sanctions. It also expresses strong disapproval of recent US statements and actions under the Trump administration, which it says undermine Ukraine's security and endanger Europe.

New here? How plenary voting works

A sitting: 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.
Group badges: How most of a group voted: ✓ For · ✗ Against · – Abstained · ~ Split (no majority).
