Resolution 2588 (2025)1Provisional version

European commitment to a just and lasting peace in Ukraine

Parliamentary Assembly

1. The Council of Europe is the institutional embodiment of the ideal of peace and unity on the Europeancontinent. However, this ideal continues to be dramatically challenged. For more than a decade, Ukraine hasbravely defended itself against Russian aggression that began in 2014 and escalated into an unprovoked, full-scale war of aggression in 2022.

2. The Russian Federation continues to violate international law, including the Charter of the UnitedNations, through the continuation of its aggression, its attacks on critical infrastructure and civilian populations,the displacement of millions of people, the illegal deportation of children, human rights violations, in particularagainst the population in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine and executions of prisoners of war.

3. The Russian Federation has also strengthened its military co-operation with States seeking toundermine the international rules-based order, notably through agreements with Iran and the deployment ofsoldiers of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (“North Korea”) in this war of aggression. Hybridwarfare tactics employed by the Russian Federation through cyber-attacks, arson, disinformation campaignsand sabotage further threaten European security, including its energy and communications infrastructure. TheRussian Federation's efforts to interfere in the political processes of Council of Europe member States alsopose a growing threat to democratic security in Europe.

4. The Bürgenstock Summit on Peace in Ukraine, organised by Switzerland on 15 and 16 June 2024,based on the Ukrainian peace formula, was the most significant diplomatic initiative to date to inspire a futurepeace process. Its Joint Communiqué outlined several key priorities for achieving a comprehensive, just andlasting peace in Ukraine: nuclear safety and security, food security and a human dimension. The follow-upconference held in Montreal in October 2024 defined concrete steps to support the return of prisoners of war,unlawfully detained civilians and deported children.

5. Intensified diplomatic efforts towards peace should support and complement the principle of “peacethrough strength” as outlined by the Ukrainian authorities. The principle stresses, inter alia, that sustainablepeace negotiations can only be conducted from a position of resilience and robust defensive capacity, andthat a just and lasting peace can only be secured by adequate security guarantees for Ukraine. Any peacenegotiations must involve Ukraine and respect its right to determine its own future.

6. In a rapidly evolving geopolitical environment, now is a critical juncture for Ukraine and for Europe.European leaders should reinforce European unity and strengthen European support for Ukraine. They shouldact urgently and maximise efforts to support a just and lasting peace in Ukraine, Europe's long-term securityand Ukraine's European future.

7. Continued support to Ukraine is also crucial in order to strengthen its capacity to effectively upholdhuman rights, the rule of law and democracy, which remain key to its resilience, recovery and reconstruction.

1. Assembly debate on 30 January 2025 (7th sitting) (see Doc. 16106, report of the Committee on Political Affairs andDemocracy, rapporteur: Ms Miapetra Kumpula-Natri). Text adopted by the Assembly on 30 January 2025 (7th sitting).
