Details
The document states that the signatories reaffirm their unwavering commitment to supporting Ukraine, its independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity within internationally recognized borders, including territorial waters.
The full withdrawal of Russian forces and means from the entire territory of Ukraine, the cessation of hostilities, and the full restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders remain important for a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace
Ministers also "would welcome an invitation for Ukraine to join NATO when allies agree and conditions are met."
NATO membership remains the best cost-effective security option for Ukraine. Neither Russia nor any other non-NATO state has a veto over the Alliance's enlargement
