This motion has not been discussed in the Assembly and commits only those who have signed it.

As a result of the Russian Federation’s aggression, the Ukrainian population has been living and suffering since 24 February 2022 from the terrible consequences of the war in connection with the fighting and bombing: anguish, traumatic stress, loss of loved ones, physical injuries, deprivation of all kinds, violence, etc.

The war has driven millions of people from their homes to seek refuge wherever they can. More than a million of these displaced people have managed to find relief and protection in nearby European countries, including Poland, Romania and the Republic of Moldova.

The humanitarian consequences and the internal (internally displaced persons) and external migratory phenomena linked to the conflict should be established, in order to draw up proposals on the solutions to be found and the means to be mobilised in the long term to respond to all the challenges caused by the Russian Federation’s aggression against its Ukrainian neighbour and its innocent population.
