RESOLUTION
O F T H E S E N AT E O F T H E R E P U B L I C O F P O L A N D
of 9 March 2022
on Ukraine's European aspirations
For the second time in just 10 years the people of Ukraine have shed blood for their
freedom, independence and European choice. The Senate of the Republic of Poland expresses
its deep admiration for the heroic attitude of our Ukrainian brothers and sisters in the face of
Russian aggression. Ukrainian society has proved beyond any doubt that it is ready to be part
of a united Europe and that it is ready to pay for its commitment to European values with
blood.
The Senate of the Republic of Poland calls on all Member States of the European
Union to jointly support the accelerated process of integrating Ukraine into the European
Union. Full EU membership for Ukraine is a moral obligation for the present generation of
Europeans. The values that brought 77 years of peace and prosperity to Western Europe are
now under threat. The Ukrainian soldier who is defending the borders of his country is
defending the whole of Europe.
The Senate of the Republic of Poland expresses its deepest opposition to the brutal
methods used in this war waged by the Russian Federation against the Ukrainian state and
nation. Its barbaric methods – the killing of civilians, the destruction of schools, hospitals and
cultural property – bring shame on the Russian state and its armed forces.
The resolution shall be published in the Official Journal of the Republic of Poland
"Monitor Polski".
MARSHAL OF THE SENATE
