The conclusions say that with the context of the new impetus for negotiations, they should lead to such a comprehensive, just and lasting peace.

The European Council emphasised the importance of several key principles: no negotiations about Ukraine without Ukraine, and no negotiations concerning European security without Europe’s participation.

According to the EU, any ceasefire or suspension of hostilities must be part of a process leading to a comprehensive peace agreement. Moreover, any such agreement must be accompanied by strong and reliable security guarantees for Ukraine, aimed at deterring future Russian aggression.

Europe has reaffirmed its position on achieving 'peace through strength', meaning Ukraine should be in the strongest possible position with stable military and defence capabilities.

To this end, the European Union remains committed, in coordination with like-minded partners and allies, to providing enhanced political, financial, economic, humanitarian, military, and diplomatic support to Ukraine and its people.
