Parliamentary Assembly
Session
2025 - Second part-session

Summary

The Parliamentary Assembly's Resolution 2598 addresses the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine, highlighting significant breaches of international law and the importance of accountability to prevent impunity. It supports various mechanisms seeking justice for Ukraine and emphasises efforts such as the creation of a special tribunal, and negotiations for a claims commission. Ukraine's acceptance of a US-proposed ceasefire is noted, though Russia's adherence remains inconsistent. The Resolution calls for the suspension of the Nord Stream pipeline projects, emphasises protection for displaced Ukrainians, and insists future peace agreements must enforce accountability. Welcoming formal negotiations in Strasbourg and The Hague, it urges rapid implementation of mechanisms for compensation and repurposing frozen Russian state assets. The Assembly appeals to member States to uphold sanctions against Russia and engage in tight cooperation to ensure reparations for victims of the aggression.
