European Parliament position on Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine

The European Parliament adopts a comprehensive position on Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine. The document analyzes the current situation and EU support measures. This text comes three years after the full-scale invasion and in the context of Ukraine's accession negotiations.

Context and objectives

The document is based on international treaties including the UN Charter, Geneva Conventions and EU-Ukraine Association Agreement. Objectives include condemning Russian aggression, supporting Ukraine and ensuring accountability for war crimes.

Key measures

• Support for ICC investigations into war crimes and crimes against humanity
• Implementation of the 16th sanctions package against Russia
• Ensuring financial and military support for Ukraine
• Using revenues from frozen Russian assets for reconstruction
• Protection of Ukrainian refugees in EU member states
• Support for Ukraine's EU accession process

Timeline and implementation

Sanctions are applied progressively with constant monitoring. Financial support is provided through the Ukraine Facility. The accession process began in December 2023 and continues. Frozen Russian assets generate annual revenues for reconstruction.

Impact for citizens and stakeholders

Ukrainian citizens benefit from humanitarian support and protection. Refugees receive asylum in the EU. Sanctions affect the Russian economy but may influence energy prices in the EU. Reconstruction requires massive long-term investments. All EU member states are involved in implementation.
