EU Leaders Emphasize Ukraine's Sovereignty Amid Geopolitical Tensions

European leaders emphasized the importance of respecting Ukraine's territorial integrity and warned against changing borders by force, amid ongoing tensions with Russia. The statement, signed by 26 EU leaders, underscores concerns over Moscow's actions and the potential for conflict escalation, while also supporting Ukraine's right to self-defense and EU membership.
