The European Parliament on 27 November adopted a resolution titled EU position on the proposed plan and EU engagement towards a just and lasting peace for Ukraine, APA reports.
The document states that any peace agreement must provide Ukraine with security guarantees equivalent to Article 5 of the NATO Washington Treaty, ensure accountability for the crime of aggression and war crimes, and oblige Russia to compensate Ukraine for all damage caused.
"The (peace) agreement must offer Ukraine reliable security guarantees equivalent to Article 5 of the Washington Treaty and Article 42.7 of the Treaty on European Union, avoiding a repeat of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, and confirm that Ukraine is free to choose its security and political alliances without any Russian veto," it stresses.
Members of the European Parliament note that "any peace agreement must envisage full compensation by Russia for the material and immaterial harm and damage it has caused in Ukraine".
The Parliament further emphasises that "peace cannot be achieved through concessions to the aggressor".
The European Parliament also urged EU member states to "adopt and implement, without further delay, a legally and financially sound 'reparation loan' for Ukraine, backed by frozen Russian assets".
On 27 November the European Parliament described the United States' position on Ukraine as "ambivalent" and questioned Washington's commitment to international law.
