The European Parliament passed a resolution affirming Ukraine's right to self-defense and calling for accountability for Russia's actions on the anniversary of the full-scale war.
On February 24, the European Parliament adopted a significant resolution marking four years since the onset of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine. The resolution emphasizes the critical need for Russia’s aggression to fail, while asserting Ukraine’s inherent right to self-defense as stipulated in Article 51 of the UN Charter. The parliament expressed strong support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, reflecting the ongoing commitment to European security and stability.
In their statements, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) placed full responsibility for the war, including war crimes and acts of aggression, squarely on Russia and its allies, like the Belarusian regime. This clear stance calls for accountability from those responsible for the conflict, underlining the international legal obligations that must be upheld as the situation unfolds. The resolution serves as a pivotal statement in the broader context of the EU’s approach toward the war and its implications for geopolitical relations.
Moreover, the European Parliament reaffirmed its support for Ukraine’s European integration, recognizing it as a strategic priority for the EU. This suggests not only a commitment to Ukraine's immediate defense needs but also a longer-term vision for its inclusion within European structures, reinforcing Ukraine’s aspirations to join the EU. The resolution highlights the importance of sustained support and cooperation among EU member states in addressing the ongoing crisis and ensuring a future of stability and peace for Ukraine and Europe as a whole.
