- Pyongyang’s involvement and Russia’s testing of new ballistic missiles in Ukraine mark “a new phase in the war”
- Call on Beijing to end all military or dual-use assistance given to Russia
- MEPs ask for more sanctions against sectors of special economic importance for Russia
In a resolution adopted on Thursday (28 November), the European Parliament condemned Russia’s use of North Korean troops against the Ukrainian army and its testing of new ballistic missiles in Ukraine. These recent escalatory steps represent a new phase in the war and a new risk for Europe’s security as a whole, MEPs argue, calling on the EU and Ukraine’s other partners to respond accordingly.

Further sanctions for countries providing military support to Russia
Denouncing Iran, Belarus and North Korea for their military support of Russia, MEPs urge the EU member states to further strengthen the sanctions regime against these countries. They stress that both Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and North Korea’s participation in the war and its nuclear and missile programmes constitute grave threats to the rules-based international order.
Involvement of China
MEPs also call on Beijing to end all military or dual-use assistance it is giving to Russia, adding that a refusal to change course risks seriously affecting bilateral EU-China relations. Instead, China could use its significant influence over North Korea and Russia to help reduce tensions, they say.

We don’t fight back, though.
We trade with China.
We trade with Israel.
Until there was a full-scale invasion we traded with Russia despite 2014 - 2022.
Where there’s money to be made, ethics and morals are ignored. Just because we’re moderately better than them with regards to rights doesn’t mean we’re good. We’re just not as bad.
We are aligned with America, creating another giant power block. Another country that’s a cunt to people.
Human rights abuses are being documented all over Europe from Italian farms to UK detention and deportation of refugees.
The state of the world is depressing and appears to be on a downhill trajectory. There’s so many parallels to the rise of the Nazi party going on in multiple countries and so many people are oblivious to it. In their echo chambers of consumerism and “I’ve got mine”.
I think I’ve had enough Internet for the day
Same, but it seems like a (too slow) uphill route IMO.
Russia is crashing down, Syria is getting kicked, Georgia is rebelling, the EU is starting to step up its game…
Gotta see the good things too man.
