The European Parliament's foreign affairs committee approved a resolution on 5 May 2015 stating that the European Union should step up sanctions and consider the possibility of providing Ukraine with defensive arms, should Russia not apply the Minsk ceasefire deals in full and return Crimea to Ukraine. Members of the committee considered that returning Crimea is vital to the EU’s long-run cooperation with Russia and urged EU countries to step up their own defence capabilities. The text also looked at Black Sea Basin military changes since Russia illegally annexed Crimea. |
