Statement of the Conference of Presidents of the European Parliament on support for Ukraine
The Conference of Presidents welcomes President Zelenskyy to the European Parliament and reaffirms its unwavering solidarity with the people of Ukraine and support for Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
We call on Member States to continue to assist Ukraine in political, military, economic, infrastructure-related, financial and humanitarian terms.
Ukraine must be supported as it defends itself from the continued illegal, brutal Russian war of aggression. We call again for States to increase and accelerate their military assistance, provision of necessary military equipment and defence systems and training of Ukrainian armed forces.
We reiterate that Ukraine’s future is as a Member of the European Union, and welcome the huge efforts of Ukraine in meeting objectives related to its accession. We are hopeful that all the conditions required will be met in order for accession negotiations to begin as soon as possible.
We emphasise our willingness to do what is necessary to hold the Russian perpetrators to account for the war crimes, crimes against humanity and atrocities committed in Ukraine.
The Conference of Presidents underlines its support for President Zelenskyy’s 10 proposals for peace plan and calls for the reconstruction effort to make use of frozen Russian assets.
We will stand by Ukraine for as long as it takes.
