Eastern European Leaders Affirm Support for Ukraine and Moldova's EU Path

The leaders of the Bucharest Nine have pledged to continue helping Ukraine, including by military, financial and humanitarian support. They also called on Russia to immediately stop hostilities and unconditionally withdraw its forces from the territory of Ukraine. The leaders of the Bucharest Nine also strongly support Ukraine’s Euro–Atlantic aspirations and reiterate the Bucharest 2008 decision that Ukraine will become a member of NATO. They expect to upgrade their political relations with Ukraine to a new level in Vilnius and launch a new political track that will lead to Ukraine’s membership in NATO, once conditions allow.
