Ensuring accountability and justice in response to Russia’s continued attacks against the civilian population in Ukraine
Resolution on a topical subject.
In this non-legislative resolution, Parliament addresses ensuring accountability and justice in response to Russia's continued attacks against the civilian population in Ukraine, more than four years after Russia launched its full-scale war of aggression. It states that Russia has deliberately and repeatedly targeted civilians and civilian objects, including energy and healthcare infrastructure, in grave violations of international humanitarian law, and cites figures that more than 15,500 civilians have been killed and over 43,000 injured since 24 February 2022 according to OHCHR, along with attacks on children, cultural heritage sites and nuclear facilities. It refers to the 25 June 2025 agreement between the Council of Europe and Ukraine establishing a Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine, the International Criminal Court arrest warrants issued against Vladimir Putin and other Russian figures, and the recognised need for an international reparation mechanism. The resolution reaffirms that Russia must be held accountable for all violations of international law and bear the legal consequences, including reparation for the damage caused.
