En février 2022, la Russie a lancé une invasion illégale à grande échelle de l’Ukraine. Depuis le début, l’Union européenne soutient Kiev: elle condamne l’agression de la part de la Russie, impose des sanctions aux responsables et fournit un soutien financier et matériel à l’Ukraine.

Guerre de la Russie contre l’Ukraine

Depuis le début des hostilités en 2014, et d’autant plus depuis que la Russie a lancé son invasion à grande échelle de l’Ukraine le 24 février 2022, le conflit n’a pas seulement causé des milliers de victimes, une crise des réfugiés et un choc économique. Il a aussi provoqué de graves dommages à l’environnement.

MEPs assess the impact of three years of Russia’s war against Ukraine and its repression of dissent following Alexei Navalny’s murder.

In a debate on Tuesday morning, with representatives of the European Commission and the Council, MEPs will mark three years since Moscow launched its brutal military invasion of Ukraine. A resolution will be put to a vote during the March plenary session.

In a resolution adopted in January 2025, Parliament reiterated its firm support for Kyiv, called on Russia to immediately terminate all military activities, and withdraw from Ukraine. MEPs also called on the EU to expand its sanctions against Russian media outlets conducting disinformation and information manipulation campaigns justifying the Kremlin’s war of aggression.

In a separate debate on Wednesday morning, MEPs will examine the Kremlin’s continued repression of Russia’s political opposition a year after the murder of Alexei Navalny. Mr Navalny, one of Russia’s most well-known anti-corruption activists, an opposition politician, and an ardent critic of Vladimir Putin, died under mysterious circumstances in a remote penal colony in the Russian Arctic on 16 February 2024, while serving a long prison sentence on trumped-up charges. After his death, the European Parliament adopted a resolution holding the Russian state, and President Putin in particular, responsible for his death.

On Wednesday afternoon, Parliament will debate the need for targeted support for EU regions bordering Russia, Belarus and Ukraine with representatives of the Polish Council Presidency and the European Commission.
