AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source
Parliament adopted a resolution on the 11th year of Russia's occupation of Crimea and the deteriorating human rights situation there, focusing on three detainees.
The text condemns Russia's war of aggression, demands withdrawal from all Ukrainian territory, and calls for an end to human rights violations against residents of occupied areas.
It urges the immediate release of Iryna Danylovych, Tofik Abdulhaziiev, and Amet Suleymanov, and insists Russia provide medical care and allow contact with families and international bodies.
Parliament also calls for a Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine and forwards the resolution to EU institutions and other bodies.
