- holding Russia accountable for war crimes and maintaining sanctions until aggression ends;
- immediate funding for arms and €10 billion for Ukraine’s defence industry;
- seizing frozen Russian assets and imposing tariffs on Russian and Belarusian import;
- fast-tracking Ukraine’s accession to the EU.
