Resolution 2506 (2023)1Provisional version

Political consequences of the Russian Federation's war of aggression against Ukraine

Parliamentary Assembly

1. Seventeen months since launching the large-scale invasion, Putin’s regime persists in its brutal war ofaggression against Ukraine. After the battle of Bakhmut (August 2022 – June 2023), which has been thelongest in the war and has had a huge human cost, the Ukrainian counteroffensive is currently under way. Asthe Ukrainians advance and liberate areas of their territory illegally occupied by the Russian Federation, it is tobe feared that new evidence of war crimes will emerge. The magnitude of the consequences of thedestruction of the Kakhovka Dam, on 6 June 2023, will only be known in the coming weeks. This attack,aimed at delaying the Ukrainian counteroffensive, confirms the barbarism of Putin’s war machinery andconstitutes a war crime and ecocide.

2. Recalling its previous resolutions and recommendations on this matter, the Parliamentary Assemblyreiterates its firm condemnation of the Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine as a violation ofinternational law and an act of unprecedented gravity, in itself and because of its far-reaching political,geopolitical, legal, humanitarian, environmental and economic consequences, in Europe and beyond.

3. By defending the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of their country, Ukrainians areprotecting the values of the Council of Europe, and the basic principles enshrined in the Charter of the UnitedNations which are the foundations of the peaceful co-existence between States. One of the main politicalconsequences of the Russian Federation’s war of aggression against Ukraine is that it has forged a renewedbond amongst democracies in support of Ukraine.

4. The 4th Summit of Council of Europe Heads of State and Government, held in Reykjavik on 16-17 May2023, is the expression of this unity around common values, of the resolve to support Ukraine for as long as ittakes, and the willingness to ensure that the Russian Federation and its leaders are held to account for theircrime of aggression and other manifold wrong-doings. The Assembly welcomes the strong stance taken byEuropean political leaders in Reykjavik, supports the Summit’s Final Declaration and will participate in itsfollow up within its remit, competencies, and outreach.

5. The Reykjavik’s Final Declaration sets the tone in unequivocal terms: for the Council of Europe and itsmember States, supporting Ukraine should be a political imperative. To turn this commitment into a reality, it isof the utmost importance to step up assistance to Ukraine, complete and give effective implementation to acomprehensive system of international accountability of the Russian Federation, tackle legal gaps andloopholes in the sanction system and isolate diplomatically the aggressor regime.

6. For Council of Europe member States, supporting Ukraine is important not only as an issue of rule oflaw and international justice but also to protect democratic security and stability in Europe. Not only has theRussian Federation brought back to Europe a devastating war of aggression but it has also pushed the limitsof what can be used as a weapon, from migrants to energy, from economic leverage to elite capture, fromecocide to kidnapping of Ukrainian children and other citizens and the Russian passportisation of Ukrainiancitizens in temporarily occupied territories.

1. Assembly debate on 22 June 2023 (18th sitting) (see Doc. 15797, report of the Committee on Political Affairs andDemocracy, rapporteur: Mr Emanuelis Zingeris). Text adopted by the Assembly on 22 June 2023 (18th sitting).
