The Gaze reports on it according to Reuters.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen outlined three key principles on which, according to the EU, lasting peace in Ukraine should be based.
Von der Leyen stressed that any realistic and sustainable peace agreement must ‘first and foremost stop the killing and end the war without creating conditions for a new armed conflict.’
"We have agreed on the main elements necessary for a just and lasting peace and Ukraine's sovereignty. Let me highlight three of them. First, borders cannot be changed by force," she said.
"Second, as a sovereign nation there cannot be limitations on Ukraine's armed forces that would leave the country vulnerable to future attack and thereby also undermining European security," the statement said.
"Third, the centrality of the European Union in securing peace for Ukraine must be fully reflected. Ukraine must have the freedom and sovereign right to choose its own destiny. They have chosen a European destiny," von der Leyen said .
