European Parliament recommends giving Ukraine status of candidate for EU membership
The European Parliament has adopted a resolution recommending that the European Union grant Ukraine the status of a candidate country for EU membership.
Some 438 MEPs voted in favor of the resolution, with 65 voting against the document and 94 abstaining, Ukrinform reports, citing Deutsche Welle.
The European Parliament recommended that the EU Council agree that the Versailles Declaration recognizes Ukraine's European aspirations and its application for EU membership, and grant it EU candidate status as a clear political signal of solidarity with the people of Ukraine.
According to the statement, earlier, the European Parliament only called on the EU to work towards granting Ukraine candidate status.

The European Parliament resolution recommended that the European Union grant Ukraine the status of a candidate for EU membership. MEPs also expressed their position on weapons for Ukraine and the UN special tribunal.
MEPs believe that the European Union should give Ukraine the status of a candidate for membership in the union. This is stated in the European Parliament resolution on EU foreign, security and defense policy after Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine, adopted at the plenary session in Strasbourg on Wednesday, June 8. 438 MEPs voted for her, 65 - against, 94 - abstained, according to DW.
The European Parliament recommended that the EU Council agree that "the Versailles Declaration recognizes Ukraine's European aspirations and its application for EU membership, and grant it EU candidate status as a clear political signal of solidarity with the people of Ukraine." This is the declaration of the informal EU summit in Versailles, which, however, was very cautious in its wording and recognized only Ukraine's European aspirations and added that the country belongs to the European family.
It will be recalled that earlier the European Parliament only called on the EU to "work towards granting Ukraine candidate status . "
The current resolution also mentions "the European aspirations of Moldova and Georgia." These countries are known to have submitted their applications after Ukraine. However, the resolution does not contain recommendations to grant them candidate status.
The European Parliament is asking for weapons for Ukraine
In addition, the European Parliament recommended "the provision of weapons without delay in accordance with the needs expressed by the Ukrainian authorities, in particular using the European Peace Facility and Coordination Center, as well as bilateral agreements between the EU and Ukraine." Under this instrument, the European Union has already allocated two billion euros for the purchase of weapons for Kyiv.
The resolution also called for reaffirmation that "Ukraine, like any other country, has the sovereign right to decide independently on its political alliances and economic integration, without the interference of other countries." MEPs also recommended supporting "the investigation of war crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine, including a call for a special UN tribunal."
According to the European Parliament, the EU should impose secondary sanctions on organizations and third countries that help Russia circumvent sanctions. The resolution also calls for a detailed study of the impact of restrictive measures on Russia.
"The goal is to help Ukraine defeat Russia"
Among the most controversial were several points of the resolution concerning Russia. They were submitted by representatives of the Social Democrats.
"The strategic goal of a free world is to help Ukraine ultimately defeat the Russian aggressor and regain control of its internationally recognized territory," the resolution said. The Social Democrats wanted to avoid mentioning Russia's defeat, and their amendment instead said it undermined Russia's ability to "threaten the territorial integrity of neighboring countries and undermine international security in the future." However, this amendment was not supported.
The original text of the resolution was also preserved, saying that the lack of "adequate" response to "Russian aggression against Georgia in 2008 and against Ukraine in 2014 prompted Russia to continue aggressive military and political campaigns, including a full-scale invasion of Ukraine."
Instead, the Social Democrats managed to replace a draft item that said that Vladimir Putin had turned Russia into a "totalitarian state-pariah" during his presidency. 229 MEPs voted in favor of leaving this text. But 330 of their colleagues replaced the item: "Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine and its attacks on the European peace order are taking place against the backdrop of harsh repression against Russian civil society and political opposition to ensure the survival of an increasingly totalitarian regime." This is the second time since the start of the war, when attempts to call Russia a "pariah state" have not found support in the European Parliament.
