The European Parliament has adopted a resolution condemning Russian drone incursions and airspace violations over European Union territory, while urging member states to accelerate deliveries of air defense systems, missiles, ammunition, and drones to Ukraine,\u00a0UATV English<\/a>\u00a0reports.<\/p>\n

According to a statement published by the European Parliament<\/a> on June 18, the resolution was approved by 412 lawmakers, with 63 voting against and 53 abstaining.<\/p>\n

MEPs stressed that incidents involving Russian drones are not isolated events but part of a broader Kremlin strategy aimed at intimidating the European Union and its allies.<\/p>\n

\u201cRussia bears full and unequivocal responsibility for these reckless escalation attacks that threaten human lives. Russia\u2019s actions constitute a deliberate and systematic threat to the security, resilience, and sovereignty of the EU and its member states,\u201d the resolution states.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Lawmakers also condemned Belarus for its role in hybrid attacks against the European Union and highlighted Minsk\u2019s complicity in Russia\u2019s aggressive actions.<\/p>\n

The European Parliament expressed full solidarity with Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Romania, whose territories, airspace, or critical infrastructure have been targeted by Russian provocations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe European Parliament declares that the European Union will not be intimidated by Russia and remains united in its determination to defend the security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of all EU member states and to continue supporting Ukraine,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

MEPs emphasized the urgent need to accelerate the production and delivery of priority military equipment to Ukraine, including air defense systems, ammunition, drones, and missiles. They also called for closer cooperation with Moldova in countering Russian drone threats.<\/p>\n

In addition, lawmakers advocated strengthening the eastern flank of the EU and NATO from the Arctic to the Black Sea and underscored the importance of creating a fully-fledged European Defense Union.<\/p>\n

The resolution follows commitments made by G7 leaders to expand supplies of air defense systems and long-range weapons to Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
