MEPs stressed that Russia bears sole responsibility for the war against Ukraine and remains the greatest threat to European security. They consider deliberate attacks on civilian targets and infrastructure to be a violation of international law. They expressed particular concern about the deportations of Ukrainian children, which may amount to genocide.

The resolution notes that more than 70 000 Ukrainians are officially listed as missing, including civilians and children. Over 16,000 people are detained in Russia or in occupied territories, according to Kiev. At the same time, Parliament has strongly condemned the executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war.

The European Parliament supported the work of the International Criminal Court and the creation of a special tribunal to prosecute Russian aggression. It also called for the immediate exchange of prisoners and for the confiscation of frozen Russian state assets in aid of Ukraine.

MEPs said the EU has the legal tools to do this - they therefore described the inaction of member states so far as indefensible.
