The participants said discussions were held collaboratively between the European partners, Ukraine and the United States, reflecting shared objectives, ongoing consultations and a commitment to Euro-Atlantic security. They said any future arrangement must respect Ukraine's sovereignty, territorial integrity and independent decision-making, and must include credible security guarantees for Ukraine as part of any settlement.
The statement said the shared objective is to develop a practical and mutually reinforcing security framework that strengthens Ukraine's long-term security and builds confidence for a negotiated settlement. It also said the talks covered how to build upon existing European security institutions and agreements after the war, how to address post-war security concerns, and how to reduce the risk of conflict and dangerous escalation.
The participants reaffirmed that a strong NATO will remain central to Euro-Atlantic collective defence, and said they will continue working together through the negotiating process toward broader multilateral discussions and a comprehensive, lasting peace.
