European partners stand shoulder to shoulder with us in our fight against the aggressor,\u201d the fifth President said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"376\" data-end=\"735\">He noted that Europe has already provided Ukraine with <strong data-start=\"431\" data-end=\"462\">\u20ac50 billion in military aid<\/strong> and is calling for more weapons and ammunition to be delivered before any negotiations take place, for a significant increase in intelligence sharing with Ukraine, and for lifting all restrictions on the use of Western weapons systems against military targets in Russia.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"737\" data-end=\"942\">\u201cThe EU insists on Ukraine\u2019s integration into defense initiatives and encourages the development of joint weapons production projects with EU and NATO partners,\u201d the leader of European Solidarity stated.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"944\" data-end=\"1174\">Poroshenko thanked all Members of the European Parliament for supporting Ukraine in its struggle for statehood, independence, sovereignty, and its European choice, as well as for backing the implementation of democratic reforms.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1176\" data-end=\"1433\">\u201cSpecial thanks to European Parliament rapporteur Michael Haller for his initiative and enormous, thorough work in preparing the Resolution, as well as to our political family, the European People\u2019s Party, for their leadership and support,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1435\" data-end=\"1693\">The European Solidarity leader added that, on the issue of opening accession negotiations, the European Parliament\u2019s position is clearly pro-Ukrainian, stressing the need to quickly launch the <strong data-start=\"1628\" data-end=\"1666\">\u2018Fundamentals\u2019 negotiation cluster<\/strong> for Ukraine and Moldova.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1695\" data-end=\"1935\">According to Poroshenko, the European Parliament provided an honest, objective, and friendly assessment of the state of affairs in Ukraine regarding the effectiveness of democratic institutions, the rule of law, and judicial independence.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"103\" data-end=\"294\">The Resolution also directly identifies the <strong data-start=\"147\" data-end=\"196\">weak areas of Ukrainian democracy and reforms<\/strong>, stressing that without progress in these fields, accession negotiations cannot be accelerated.<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"296\" data-end=\"1381\">\n<li data-start=\"296\" data-end=\"522\">\n<p data-start=\"298\" data-end=\"522\"><strong data-start=\"298\" data-end=\"332\">Rule of law and the judiciary.<\/strong> The European Parliament warns about the paralysis of the Constitutional Court and the judiciary\u2019s vulnerability to political influence, calling this a matter of public trust in the state.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"523\" data-end=\"885\">\n<p data-start=\"525\" data-end=\"885\"><strong data-start=\"525\" data-end=\"590\">Independence and effectiveness of the anti-corruption system.<\/strong> The Resolution voices support for NABU and SAPO and demands their protection from any political pressure, while also calling for the strengthening of ARMA, the relaunch of the State Bureau of Investigation, and the resolution of the issue of selecting judges for the Supreme Judicial Council.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"886\" data-end=\"1216\">\n<p data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"1216\"><strong data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"930\">Democracy and parliamentary pluralism.<\/strong> The EP urges Ukraine to refrain from politically motivated trials and sanctions against opposition representatives, to support parliamentary pluralism and constructive dialogue between factions in the Verkhovna Rada, and to lift restrictions on international parliamentary diplomacy.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1217\" data-end=\"1381\">\n<p data-start=\"1219\" data-end=\"1381\"><strong data-start=\"1219\" data-end=\"1255\">Media freedom and civil society.<\/strong> The Resolution underlines the inadmissibility of monopolizing broadcast media and exerting pressure on independent outlets.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1383\" data-end=\"1539\">\u201cThis is a signal to Bankova: any attempts to manually control anti-corruption bodies are a direct blow to European integration,\u201d stated Petro Poroshenko.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1541\" data-end=\"1847\">He stressed that the European Parliament\u2019s Resolution and the heated debate around it demonstrate that support for Ukraine remains unwavering, but the speed of its movement towards EU membership depends not on \u201cloud and beautiful statements\u201d but on real democratic reforms and actions inside the country.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1849\" data-end=\"2030\">\u201cI thank the MEPs for considering our numerous proposals and improvements.<\/p>\n<p>We will remind you that <a
