European Parliament Endorses Ukraine's Right to Strike Military Targets in Russia

The European Parliament has passed a resolution supporting Ukraine's right to strike legitimate military targets within Russia. The resolution, approved by 425 votes to 131 with 63 abstentions, asserts that Ukraine's ability to defend itself is hampered by current restrictions, leaving the country vulnerable to continued attacks on its population and infrastructure.

The resolution highlights concerns over insufficient ammunition supplies and restrictions on their use, warning that these limitations could undermine ongoing efforts to support Ukraine. MEPs expressed disappointment over the reduction in military aid from EU countries and urged member states to honor their March 2023 commitment to deliver one million rounds of ammunition. The call for accelerated deliveries of weapons, air defense systems, and ammunition, including Taurus missiles, was also reiterated.
