World leaders called for peace in Ukraine: what the statement entails.

According to inkorr.com: Leaders of major democratic countries issued a joint declaration reaffirming their support for Ukraine and calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities. The document emphasizes that Ukraine must remain strong in negotiations and underscores unity on the unacceptable nature of changing borders by force. The leaders are united in their desire for a just and lasting peace for the Ukrainian people.

'We are all united in the pursuit of a fair and lasting peace that the people of Ukraine deserve. Russia has repeatedly shown that only Ukraine is seriously committed to peace, while Putin continues to choose violence and destruction,' the joint statement reads.

The leaders also noted that any ceasefire would only be possible under the condition of strengthening Ukraine economically and militarily. In this context, partners are working on new sanctions against the Russian defense industry and developing mechanisms to use frozen Russian assets to finance Ukrainian needs. These issues will be discussed at the European Council meeting and within the 'coalition of willing'.

Aggressive reaction from Moscow

Moscow officials reacted aggressively to this statement. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov noted that a quick ceasefire could lead to a significant part of Ukraine coming under Nazi control. The Russian side views Western initiatives as 'a violation of the agreements between Putin and Trump in Alaska'. Thus, while the democratic world is seeking ways to a true peace, the Kremlin continues to justify its actions and prepares for new hostilities.

World leaders expressed support for Ukraine and called for peace, emphasizing the importance of providing military assistance in the event of a ceasefire.

This declaration once again demonstrates serious international support for Ukraine in the face of aggression from Russia. The situation remains tense, and further actions of Western partners may significantly impact the course of events and stability in the region.
