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

Parliament adopted a report on hybrid warfare and the protection of the EU's territorial integrity and critical security and defence infrastructure. The report describes hybrid attacks such as drone incursions, airspace violations, sabotage of undersea cables and energy infrastructure, cyberattacks, GPS jamming and foreign information manipulation and interference. By adopting the text, Parliament made it its official position, calling for a shift from a reactive to a proactive posture and for a cross-domain action plan against hybrid warfare. It also asks for increased intelligence sharing, a dedicated sanctions framework for hybrid threats, and closer cooperation with NATO and partners such as Ukraine, Moldova, Armenia and the Western Balkans.

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).
