Parliament adopted a resolution on ensuring accountability and justice for Russia's continued attacks on civilians in Ukraine, condemning the war and calling for an immediate ceasefire.
The text supports the International Criminal Court's work, urges full cooperation with its arrest warrants, and calls on the Commission to activate the blocking statute to protect the court.
It also calls for cancelling Ukraine's foreign debt and stresses that accountability mechanisms must be applied universally, without double standards.
