The statement shows that European leaders highly appreciate the strong consensus between the United States, Ukraine, and Europe. Leaders agree that ensuring Ukraine's security, sovereignty, and prosperity is crucial to broader Euro-Atlantic security. Both US and European leaders pledged to work together to provide Ukraine with strong security guarantees and economic recovery support measures in the context of a ceasefire agreement. They also pledged to support Ukraine in building an armed force of 800,000 personnel, maintaining its peacetime strength, to have the capacity to deter conflict and defend its territory. This will include a commitment to a "multinational force in Ukraine" led by Europe, composed of contributions from willing countries within the framework of the Coalition of Will, and supported by the United States. It also includes a commitment to assist in the reconstruction of the Ukrainian armed forces, ensure the security of its airspace, and support safer waters through operations within Ukraine.
