"The Assembly welcomes the unprecedented initiatives taken by Europeans and their allies to strengthen the defence and security of Ukraine and Europe, in particular the “Coalition of the Willing”, and the progress made on robust security guarantees for a stable and lasting peace in Ukraine, which should be activated as soon as a ceasefire comes into force. It also welcomes initiatives to uphold European democracies, such as the New Democratic Pact for Europe launched by the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, which aims to strengthen democratic security within the member States of the Organisation, as part of a comprehensive approach to security that respects international law."
