On the last day of its plenary session in Strasbourg, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on Ukraine, with 401 votes for, 70 votes against and 90 abstentions, in which it calls on the EU and its member states to “show leadership in this crucial geopolitical moment and continue working with Washington and other like-minded partners to ensure that negotiations for a just and lasting peace respect the principles of international law”. The MEPs insist “that any sustainable peace must be preceded by an effective ceasefire and underpinned by robust EU and US security guarantees to Kyiv – amounting to those of NATO’s Article 5 and the EU’s Article 42.7 – to prevent, deter and immediately counter any renewed aggression”. In addition, the resolution states that “any temporarily occupied Ukrainian territory will not be legally recognised by the EU and its member states as Russian territory”. Then, the resolution points out that Europe must be involved “in any peace negotiations, as the outcome of the Ukraine war will have a profound impact on the entire European security order”. “Nothing about Ukraine should be decided without Ukraine, and nothing about Europe without Europe”. The resolution also underlines that any peace agreement must envisage full compensation by Russia for the material and immaterial harm and damage it has caused in Ukraine.
