NATO Parliamentary Assembly calls for transfer of medium-range missiles with range of up to 5,500 km to Ukraine
The NATO Parliamentary Assembly has adopted a resolution calling on NATO members to provide Ukraine with medium-range missiles.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to LigaBusinessInform.
The document calls on the governments and parliaments of NATO member states to:
- strengthening sanctions against Russia and North Korea;
- providing Ukraine with all the means necessary to defend itself and deter further aggression, including medium-range missiles.
The head of the Verkhovna Rada's permanent delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, MP from the Servant of the People party, Yehor Chernev, clarified that these are missiles with a range of 1,000-5,500 km that can strike at the strategic depths of the Russian Federation. He cited the US Tomahawk missiles as an example.
"The Ukrainian delegation managed to convince our Western colleagues to support my proposal and include this item in the resolution of the next session of the Assembly. This decision is the first step that creates a legal basis and gives the governments of NATO member states the opportunity to make a corresponding decision," Chernev said.
In addition, the resolution calls on NATO Allies to support Ukraine's efforts to achieve peace, as set out in President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Peace Formula, to remain committed to the principle of "nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine", and to step up efforts to help Ukraine become the Alliance's 33rd member as soon as possible.
