The European Union actively collaborates with the administration of the USA and the government of Ukraine to achieve just peace. This was stated by the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen on the social media platform X.
Von der Leyen noted: "The EU works in close contact with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and the USA to achieve just and lasting peace." She emphasized the necessity of providing reliable security guarantees that protect the vital interests of Ukraine and Europe.
She also urged the US President to update the information regarding negotiations that took place on September 15 between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the military base in Aliazi.
On Saturday, Trump held a phone conversation with Zelensky, during which leaders of other European countries also joined. In a joint statement, they supported Trump's efforts towards achieving peace and reiterated the necessity of "reliable" security guarantees for Ukraine.
Leaders also confirmed that Ukraine should have the ability to independently make decisions regarding its territories, while international borders should not be altered by force. They continue to support Ukraine as long as the conflict persists.
"We are ready to impose sanctions and economic measures to tighten the pressure on the Russian economy while a just peace is not achieved," added the European leaders.
