LONDON, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) — Any diplomatic solution to the Ukraine crisis must protect the vital security interests of both Ukraine and Europe, European leaders said Saturday evening.
The joint statement was signed by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Finnish President Alexander Stubb ahead of a planned meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15.
European leaders agreed that vital interests include the need for strong and reliable security guarantees that will enable Ukraine to effectively defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
According to the statement, the only way to lasting peace and security in Ukraine is through a combination of active diplomacy, continued support for Ukraine and pressure on Russia. It is noted that meaningful negotiations can only take place in the context of a ceasefire or reduction of military actions.
European leaders welcomed Trump's efforts to bring peace to Ukraine and pledged further European diplomatic support as well as "substantial military and financial support" to Ukraine through a "coalition of the willing."
On the same day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky discussed ending the Russian-Ukrainian conflict with several European leaders, including K. Starmer, E. Macron and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. –0–
