💨 Abstract

Leaders of the European Union urged Ukraine's right to decide its future ahead of a U.S.-Russia summit. They insisted that meaningful negotiations must occur amid a ceasefire, emphasizing Ukraine's "inherent right" to choose its path, including potential EU membership. Ukraine, if agree with the EU leaders, should not be excluded from peace talks. Hungary, a close ally of Russia, did not sign the statement. The EU expressed support for the efforts of U.S.
