The European Parliament urged to immediately lift the ban on Ukraine's strikes against Russia.

On Thursday, September 19, the European Parliament called on the European Union countries to immediately lift restrictions on Ukraine's use of Western weapons against legitimate military targets on Russian territory.

As reported by "Hvylya", this is stated in the draft resolution of the organization.

During the plenary session, the European Parliament adopted the resolution "Support for Ukraine by the EU member states." 425 deputies voted in favor, 131 voted against, and 63 abstained. A total of 619 deputies voted.

Parliamentarians believe that these restrictions hinder Ukraine from exercising self-defense and put its population and infrastructure at risk.

In addition, the European Parliament called on EU countries to supply weapons to Ukraine more quickly, including air defense systems and other weapons, including German Taurus missiles.

Parliamentarians also expressed support for sanctions against the Russian Federation, Belarus, and countries and organizations that provide military technologies and equipment to Russia.

The resolution also calls for an embargo on Russian gas, sanctions against "Gazprom" and Russian oil companies. Deputies also support sanctions against ships exporting Russian gas and oil and bypassing sanctions, and sanctions against maritime vessels servicing Russia's energy projects in the Arctic.

The deputies also call for expanding humanitarian support for Ukraine from the EU and note that this support will be relevant for a long Time. They also ask the European Union to develop a financial support plan for Ukraine's recovery and not to reduce funding.

The European Parliament resolution is advisory and has no legal force.

Recall, Biden and Starmer discussed permission for strikes on Russia.
