In Paris, the foreign ministers of France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom, along with representatives of the European Commission, coordinated efforts to achieve a just peace in Ukraine, which is crucial for Europe's long-term security.
This was stated in a joint declaration following the "Weimar+" meeting.
Paris Statement by Ministers of Foreign Affairs of France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, EEAS, and European Commission.
"We are ready to enhance our support for Ukraine. We commit to its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia's war of aggression.
We share the goal to keep supporting Ukraine until a just, comprehensive and lasting peace is reached. A peace that guarantees the interest of Ukraine and our own.
We are looking forward to discussing the way ahead together with our American allies. Our shared objectives should be to put Ukraine in a position of strength. Ukraine and Europe must be part of any negotiations.
Ukraine should be provided with strong security guarantees. A just and lasting peace in Ukraine is a necessary condition for a strong transatlantic security.
We recall that the security of the European continent is our common responsibility. We are therefore working together to strengthen our collective defense capabilities."
