The European Parliament adopted a resolution that calls for a stronger, more independent EU defence system, higher spending and better technology, closer cooperation with NATO and other allies, support for Ukraine, and a comprehensive plan to counter hybrid threats and protect critical infrastructure.

The 2026 European Parliament resolution reviews the EU’s foreign and security actions in 2025, sets new priorities, and urges stronger defense, more help for Ukraine, protection of human rights, and faster, clearer EU decision‑making.

The EU’s 2024‑2029 air passenger rights rules give travelers bigger cash payouts for delays, cancellations or denied boarding, free meals and lodging when flights are late, clearer baggage limits, help for kids and disabled people, and easier ways to file complaints, all to make flying fairer and safer.

The resolution aims to increase funding for humanitarian aid, especially for women and children, and supports international cooperation to address the needs of 305 million people requiring urgent assistance.

The EU’s resolution condemns Belarus’s drone, balloon, cyber, and fake‑news attacks on Lithuania, demands they stop, offers military support, imposes new sanctions, and calls for stronger border and intelligence cooperation to protect all member states.
