Recital F
Recital F
F. whereas Russia has accelerated the expansion and modernisation of the Black Sea Fleet following the annexation; whereas the Black Sea Fleet modernisation plan is one of the most ambitious parts of the Russian State Arms Procurement programme for 2011-2020; whereas in December 2014 the Russian Government approved a new military doctrine which considers NATO as a main security threat to Russia; whereas this doctrine permits the use of nuclear weapons against a state that does not have such weapons;

Amendment 104 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Believes that the change in the strategic landscape, and the evolving military situation in the Black Sea Basin, are indicative of broader, systemic challenges to European security; believes that the EU and the Member States must have a security response to these challenges; strongly condemns Russia’s abandonment of the mandate for the negotiation of the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe;
Amendment 117 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Notes with concern that Russia has considerably bolstered its air and naval defences in the Black Sea Basin, deploying new naval defence (anti-ship) missiles (with a range of 600 km, able to reach the Bosphorus) and ensuring that Russian fighter planes control about three quarters of the Black Sea Basin airspace (by practically tripling the number of airports in Crimea); notes, in this regard, that Russia has bolstered its capabilities in both strategic and tactical terms: strategically, long-range bombers, capable of carrying cruise missiles, and reconnaissance aviation operating close to the western shores of the Black Sea, can penetrate deep into Central Europe; tactically, two naval infantry brigades – potentially supported by Mistral-type helicopter carriers – pose a significant potential landing threat; urges France to abandon unequivocally and finally the sale of amphibious assault ships to Russia;
Amendment 124 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Notes that potential Russian deployment of dual-capable weapon systems in Crimea place in doubt Russia’s good intentions when it comes to achieving progress on the multilateral nuclear disarmament agenda in the forthcoming Non-Proliferation Treaty review, undermining the efforts already made in that direction; strongly condemns the maintenance and modernisation by Russia of its tactical nuclear warhead arsenal of the size exceeding many times NATO’s similar arsenal; is concerned by the signals of violation by Russia of the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Medium- and Intermediate-range Missiles, which would pose a significant threat to Europe and Russia’s other immediate neighbours;
Amendment 135 #
Motion for a resolution

8. Is deeply concerned by the extremely serious situation in eastern Ukraine – where war is leading to the destabilisation of Ukraine and the region as a whole – including the apparent move to establish a land corridor linking Russian territory with Crimea through separatist-controlled territory along the western shore of the Azov Sea (Mariupol); as a result of which Ukraine could be completely cut off from the sea;
Amendment 137 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8 a (new)
Paragraph 8 a (new)
8 a. Supports President Petr Poroshenko’s initiative to send peacekeeping forces to eastern Ukraine; reminds that there is no embargo on providing armament assistance to Ukraine and expresses a belief that such assistance from the European Union states could contribute effectively to the halting of the spread of Russian aggression; appeals for the launch by the international community of a permanent monitoring mission to ensure that the rights of the Ukrainian and Tatar communities in Crimea are respected;
Amendment 138 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8 b (new)
