As legislators across the transatlantic community our support for the sovereign territorial integrity
and political independence of Ukraine remains unwavering. We believe that Ukraine, like all
sovereign nations, has the right to determine its own political and security future and we commend
the Ukrainian government for the significant steps it has taken over the last 30 years to enact
democratic and economic reforms reflective of the shared and longstanding norms and values of
the liberal democratic nations.
The military buildup of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border as well as those currently involved
in military exercises in the Baltic Sea, Black Sea, the Arctic and the Republic of Belarus not only
threatens that progress but stands as an existential threat to Ukraine’s future and independence.

Transatlantic unity has never been more critical to preserving our democratic
values. Our determination and resolve must be resolute.
To that end and in the spirit of our shared democratic values, we call on the transatlantic
community to continue to use all possible diplomatic means to facilitate the de-escalation of the
ongoing tensions, while coordinating our efforts so we speak with one voice and stand united in
the face of Vladimir Putin’s destabilizing efforts and reiterate our support for the Ukrainian people
and their right to self-determination.
While diplomatic efforts persist, we urge our governments to immediately provide Ukraine with
the lethal and non-lethal military assets required to defend itself. We further urge our governments
to prepare a set of coordinated and harsh economic sanctions ready to be implemented should the
Kremlin undertake any further incursion into the sovereign territory of Ukraine.

Conflict is not inevitable, and de-escalation is possible.

The cost of war is too great, and meaningful and coordinated steps towards
détente must be taken.
