In the resolution, MEPs reject the Kremlin's attempts to distort historical facts to destroy Ukraine's national identity and condemn impunity for the crimes of the Soviet regime.

Yaroslav Yurchyshyn, MP and chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Freedom of Speech, called the decision an important signal that exposes the criminal nature of the “Russian world.
This is an important step to show what the Kremlin and the Russian regime really are today. We are strengthening our positions in the international arena, putting pressure on the enemy on all available platforms. The operation to make Russia small again continues. Thanks to everyone who is involved in returning Russia to its true borders
