British Prime Minister Keir Strmer, organizer of the summit, classified the meeting as “a unique moment in a generation for European security.” By captaining efforts to create a plan for ceasefire of the war between Ukraine and Russia, he argued that European nations should reinforce their borders and support Ukraine with all their weight.
“Each nation should contribute to this in the best way you can, bringing different skills and support to the table, but all assuming the responsibility of acting, all increasing their own portion of the burden,” he said.
Holland Prime Minister Dick Schoof said a safe and protected Ukraine is in the interest of all over Europe, including the Netherlands, which is why a united Europe is now “more important than ever.”
After participating in the summit, Schoof stated that Europe “needs to play a larger role in safeguarding the safety of the continent.” “Europe must take more responsibility for its own security, including reinforcing European defense capabilities.”
European Council President Antonio Costa said strong security guarantees are necessary for lasting peace in Ukraine and ensuring that the country devastated by war is not invaded again.

Costa, who leads the EU body that represents his 27 member states, said that allies should learn from the past and avoid repeating “Minsk’s experience.” He referred to the so-called Minsk agreements, a series of ceasefire agreements between Russia and Ukraine that did not hold before the large-scale invasion of Russia in February 2022.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that “Russian perspectives cannot be accepted” in the search for the end of the war in Ukraine. “Russia has always aimed to establish a government in Ukraine that follows its orders. This cannot be accepted, ”he said.
“Ukraine is a European country that has chosen to seek adhesion to the European Union – a democratic and sovereign nation. And it should remain like this, ”said Scholz, after the meeting in London.
