The European Parliament called on the European Commission and the EU member states to continue long-term financial support for Ukraine.

"[The European Parliament] calls on the Commission to swiftly propose long-term financial assistance for the reconstruction of Ukraine in collaboration with partner countries, in particular by ensuring swift implementation of the Ukraine Facility and building on it to ensure continued support at adequate levels and resources for reconstruction commensurate with our political support for Ukraine," according to the resolution voted on Thursday in Strasbourg during the plenary session of the European Parliament. Some 425 MEPs voted in favor, 131 voted against, and 63 abstained. A total of 619 MEPs voted.

The EP also called on all member states to increase funding for Ukraine and refrain from reducing their contributions. "[The European Parliament] reiterates its firm conviction that Russia must provide financial compensation for the massive damage it has caused in Ukraine; welcomes the decision of the Council to direct extraordinary revenues stemming from immobilised Russian state assets to the Ukraine Assistance Fund and the Ukraine Facility as well as the G7’s decision to offer Ukraine a USD 50 billion loan secured through immobilised Russian state assets," the document notes.

The European Parliament calls for a substantial increase in the EU’s humanitarian aid in order to ensure that "full support for Ukraine continues in 2025." It notes that the need for humanitarian support is likely to continue for years to come and stresses the need for the EU "to be prepared to meet these needs with long-term planning and adequate funds."

The European Parliament reiterates that Ukraine, as a victim of aggression, has a legitimate right to self-defence in line with Article 51 of the UN Charter; recalls that "the significant, although still insufficient, military assistance provided by the EU, the US and like-minded partners is designed to allow Ukraine to effectively defend itself against an aggressor state and to re-establish full control over its entire internationally recognised territory."

The European Parliament calls for the EU and its Member States "to actively work towards maintaining and achieving the broadest possible international support for Ukraine and identifying a peaceful solution to the war, which must be based on full respect for Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, the principles of international law, accountability for war crimes and the crime of aggression committed by Russia, and Russian reparations and other payments for the massive damage caused in Ukraine; calls for active EU engagement in implementing Ukraine’s Peace Formula and creating the grounds for holding the second Peace Summit."

The European Parliament strongly condemns the use of sexual and gender-based violence as a weapon of war and stresses that this constitutes a war crime. It reiterates "its call for the EU to step up efforts to address the dire situation of those forcibly deported to Russia and children forcibly adopted in Russia, including by sanctioning persons directly responsible for and involved in the forced transfer and unjustified detention of Ukrainian children."

The European Parliament "condemns, in the strongest possible terms, Russia’s continued war of aggression against Ukraine, and the involvement of Belarus in this war, and demands that Russia immediately terminate all military activities in Ukraine, unconditionally withdraw all forces and military equipment from the entire internationally recognised territory of Ukraine and compensate Ukraine for the damage caused to its people, land, nature and infrastructure."

"[The European Parliament] expresses its undivided solidarity with the people of Ukraine, along with its full support for the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognised borders, and underlines that this war of aggression constitutes a blatant and flagrant violation of the UN Charter and the fundamental principles of international law; reiterates its support for the commitments of the EU and its Member States to provide humanitarian assistance, military support, economic and financial aid and political support in every possible way until Ukraine’s victory in order to ultimately stop Russia’s war of aggression and allow Ukraine to liberate all its people and re-establish full control within its internationally recognised borders; stresses that the ultimate goal remains to achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine on Ukraine’s terms, ensuring the safety and dignity of its people within a peaceful and stable Europe," the document notes.

The EP also called on Hungary to repeal the decree ending state-funded asylum for refugees from Western Ukraine and to fulfill its obligations under the EU Temporary Protection Directive.
