Speech by Member of Parliament A.A. Kozhemyakin
On January 20, 2025, during the Ukraine-NATO Interparliamentary Council meeting, the Alliance was urged to adopt the “Peace through Strength” approach. The statement emphasized providing Ukraine with more missiles, air defense systems, and multirole fighter jets.
Following the meeting, the Ukraine-NATO Interparliamentary Council adopted a declaration supporting Ukraine in countering Russian aggression and called on the Alliance to strengthen its assistance. The statement highlighted the unwavering support for Ukraine from Alliance members and noted that both military and non-military aid are crucial in countering Russian advances.
The statement also called on the leaders of NATO member states to adopt the “Peace through Strength” approach and double their efforts to enable Ukraine to "effectively defend itself" in 2025.
“We urge allies to intensify efforts to equip Ukraine for effective defense in 2025, including the supply of medium-range missiles, air defense systems, and multirole fighter jets; as well as fully aligning Ukraine's defense capabilities with NATO standards by 2028,” the final document stated.
It also mentions inviting Ukraine to join the Alliance, initiatives to hold Russian officials accountable for human rights violations, war crimes, crimes of aggression, and other breaches of international law.
On November 26, 2024, a session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly took place. The NATO Parliamentary Assembly adopted an important resolution that includes a series of strategic recommendations for supporting Ukraine in its resistance to Russian aggression. One of the key points of the document is a call for allies to provide Ukraine with medium-range missiles. These missiles, capable of striking targets at distances between 1,000 and 5,500 kilometers, would significantly enhance Ukraine's defense capabilities. At the same time, the resolution emphasizes the need to accelerate Ukraine's integration into the North Atlantic Alliance. NATO membership would be a crucial step toward ensuring the country's security and stability in the region. The Assembly stressed that such a move not only aligns with Ukraine's interests but also strengthens the Alliance's own security, as Ukraine has already demonstrated its commitment to democratic values and its ability to effectively collaborate with partners.
