Ministers of six European countries confirmed that they will continue to support Ukraine

The foreign ministers of Germany, France, Poland, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom have confirmed that they will continue to take steps to deter Russian aggression, including through further support for Ukraine.

This is stated in the joint statement of the ministers following the meeting in Warsaw on November 19.

"Russia is systematically attacking the European security architecture. Russia's reckless revisionism and persistent refusal to stop its aggression and engage in constructive negotiations challenge peace, freedom and prosperity on the European continent and in the transatlantic region," the ministers said.

They noted that Russia is increasingly relying on the help of its partners Iran and North Korea to continue its illegal war.

"To meet this historic challenge, we are determined to join forces with our European and transatlantic partners to think and act big in the interests of European security," the diplomats said.

In this regard, the countries confirmed that they will continue to take steps to deter Russian aggression, strengthen NATO as the foundation of European security, increase security and defense spending and investment in building up the military-industrial base, increase resilience to hybrid threats, and strengthen military, economic and financial support for Ukraine, including support for a $50 billion G7 loan.

The ministers emphasized that "peace negotiations can only be conducted with Ukraine, with European, American and G7 partners on its side."

Earlier it was reported that the future President of the United States Donald Trump won the final victory in the last "swing" state - Arizona. Republican Trump, who had received the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the White House by last Wednesday morning, is now expected to have 312 votes against Harris' 226.

It has also been said that Donald Trump's peace plan to end the war in Ukraine may include a demand to refuse to join NATO for 20 years and freeze the front line without returning the territories. However, Trump has not yet approved a specific plan, including how he will convince Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to sit down at the negotiating table.
