Any agreement to end the war must respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, as well as provide security guarantees to Kiev. This was stated in a joint statement by the US, the European Union and Ukraine, published by the special envoy of US President Donald Trump, Steve Witkoff, on the X social network.
The document also emphasizes Ukraine's right to make its own decisions. Among the conditions discussed are the creation of a practical system for the defense of the country after the war, updating the European security architecture and mechanisms to prevent new escalation.
It should be noted separately that a strong NATO will remain the basis of Europe's collective defense.
The parties agreed to continue coordination during the negotiations and prepare a broader dialogue with European countries to achieve a long-term settlement.
