Europe is ready to strengthen support for Ukraine and demands participation in negotiations , – statement.
The foreign ministers of France, Great Britain, Spain, Italy, Poland, Germany, and the EU, following a meeting in Paris at security talks, declared their readiness to strengthen assistance to Ukraine.
The heads of state and the Foreign Ministry also demand Europe’s participation in future negotiations to end the Russian Federation’s war against Ukraine, and expect to discuss the way forward “together with American allies.”
“Our common goals should be to ensure a position of strength for Ukraine. Ukraine and Europe should participate in any negotiations,” the joint statement states.
The ministers emphasize that Ukraine must be provided with “strong” security guarantees.
“A just and sustainable peace in Ukraine is a necessary condition for strong Euro-Atlantic security. We recall that the security of the European continent is our shared responsibility. Therefore, we work together to strengthen our collective defense capabilities,” the statement said.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said that during security talks in Paris, Sybiha and his colleagues exchanged views on the interaction of European allies with the new US administration and strengthening Euro-Atlantic security.
Sybiha emphasized the need to adhere to the principles of “nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine” and “nothing about Europe without Europe.”
The Ukrainian Foreign Minister emphasized that Kyiv is ready to play an important role in strengthening Euro-Atlantic security “thanks to its strong army, technologies, defense industry, and unique experience.”
” Ukraine has had too many bad deals in the past. Budapest in 1994. Bucharest in 2008. Minsk in 2015. The conclusion is simple: no security arrangements at the expense of Ukraine or its security will bring reliable security to the Euro-Atlantic community . With this negative experience behind us, we seek instead a good deal that will bring sustainable security and a truly just peace. Such an outcome can only be achieved from a position of strength,” said Andrii Sybiha.
Andrii Sybiha was born in 1975 in Zboriv, Ukraine
He Graduated from the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (international relations specialist, interpreter from English – 1997; specialization in law, lawyer – 1999)
