In the resolution, adopted with 451 votes in favor, 46 against, and 49 abstentions, MEPs reflect on the two years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine that started on 24 February 2022. They emphasize that the war has significantly altered the geopolitical landscape in Europe and beyond, asserting that Ukraine’s victory is the primary goal, with serious repercussions if it fails. MEPs also note that other authoritarian regimes are closely observing the situation to gauge their own opportunities for aggressive foreign policies.
For Ukraine to win, there should be “no self-imposed restriction on military assistance to Ukraine,” with Parliament reaffirming the need to provide Ukraine with whatever is necessary to regain full control over its internationally recognized territory.
