We stand with Ukraine!

This unprovoked conflict has resulted in thousands of lives lost, millions of displaced people, the destruction of homes and livelihoods. It also threatens the security and stability, democracy and prosperity of the entire European continent.

This is why we continue to:

• support Ukraine’s legitimate right to self-defence under article 51 of the UN Charter;
• work to ensure effective and sustainable long-term military support to Ukraine;
• establish robust security guarantees. Europe needs to develop and implement unwavering security assurances for Ukraine to deter further aggression;
• enhance Europe’s defense capabilities by initiating a substantial rearmament programme to bolster Europe's defense infrastructure;
• call for a just and sustainable end to the war, which must be based on full respect for Ukraine’s independence and territorial integrity, the principles of international law and accountability. Russia must pay for the massive material and immaterial damage caused in Ukraine. We also insist that no negotiations about Ukraine can take place without Ukraine and we call for the engagement of the EU in any negotiations.
