Posición de la Unión sobre el plan propuesto y compromiso de la Unión con una paz justa y duradera para Ucrania (debate)
Mr President, Minister, Commissioner, dear colleagues, the Russian leadership aims to destroy and subjugate Ukraine, removing it from the political map of Europe. The Kremlin is pursuing these aims through military aggression and by imposing preconditions in various negotiations. No other alternatives are seen from Moscow. We must understand that Russia's aggressive intentions also affect the European security architecture, seeking to create great security zones which are unacceptable and definitely dangerous. A peace agreement must not only end the war against Ukraine, but also put an end to Russia's hybrid war against EU countries and their partners. This undeclared hybrid war must end with Russia making a clear commitment and accepting accountability for its actions. Justice demands that all Russian and allied leaders and officials who initiated and enabled the war against Ukraine and its people be held accountable. This must serve as a lesson for the future. The war in Ukraine has affected the whole of Europe. We have all experienced the hardships of war and we continue to witness Russia's ongoing war crimes against humanity every day. While the financial, humanitarian and military aid provided is crucial, I really regret that the European Union has missed the opportunity to demonstrate its role as a global player by not forcing Russia, the aggressor state, to sit down at the negotiations table. History is not yet over. Let us strengthen Europe's and Ukraine's security, because Europe will never be safe without a defended and victorious Ukraine.
