00:00We just concluded a meeting of the 27 European leaders with the President of the European Commission

00:07and we took stock of the latest developments regarding efforts to achieve peace for Ukraine.

00:28the European Union institutions and European representatives marked significant progress.

00:38The United States and Ukraine informed us that the discussions were constructive

00:45and that progress was achieved on several issues.

00:51We welcome the step forward and some issues remain to be resolved, but the direction is positive.

01:03And we commend the efforts of Presidents Zelensky and Trump and their teams.

01:11It is also clear that the issues that concern directly the European Union,

01:21such as sanctions, enlargements or immobilized assets,

01:28require the full involvement and decision by the European Union.

01:34We stand ready to continue supporting this process by working closely together with the European Union

01:52What matters now is that we move forward as partners, united by our shared goal.

03:01Ukraine, a chosen Europe, and Europe will stand by Ukraine.

03:09An efficient and coordinated European engagement, as well as a strong European presence in Geneva,

03:20has allowed us to make good progress in the negotiations for just and lasting peace in Ukraine.

03:28While work remains to be done, there is now a solid basis for moving forward.

03:46This is about the security of our entire continent, now and in future.

03:54And today's meeting in Rwanda reaffirmed that we are united in our support of Ukraine.

04:00These are our core European principles moving forward.

04:07Ukraine's territory and sovereignty must be respected.

04:13Only Ukraine, as a sovereign country, can make decisions regarding its armed forces.

04:22The choice of their destiny is in their own hands.
