European Parliament adopts resolution in support of Ukraine

The European Parliament has adopted a resolution in support of Ukraine on the second anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion. MEPs call for weapons to be transferred to Ukraine, the press service of the European Parliament reports.


The resolution was supported by 451 MEPs, 46 were against, and 49 abstained.


The European Parliament notes that in order for Ukraine to win, there should be no restrictions on military aid to Ukraine. In particular, MEPs call on the EU countries to provide Ukraine with artillery ammunition, air defense systems, long-range missiles, including TAURUS, Storm Shadow/SCALP, various types of artillery, as well as drones and weapons to counter them.


In addition, the resolution states that all EU and NATO allies should support Ukraine militarily with at least 0.25% of their GDP per year. The EU countries are also called upon to start negotiations with defense companies to ensure an increase in the production and supply of ammunition, shells and missiles to Ukraine.


European deputies also called on the US House of Representatives to approve funding for aid to Ukraine.


The resolution also emphasizes the importance of confiscating frozen Russian assets to be used for Ukraine's reconstruction.


"Russia should be obliged to pay the reparations imposed on it in order to ensure a significant contribution to the recovery of Ukraine," the document says.


The MEPs call on the EU to maintain and expand its sanctions policy against Moscow and Minsk, in particular, to ban imports of Russian uranium and metallurgical products to the EU, to end nuclear cooperation with Russia and to impose a complete embargo on imports of Russian agricultural and fish products, as well as fossil fuels and liquefied natural gas transported by sea through pipelines.
