The withdrawal of Russian occupying forces from the sovereign territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders is one of the mandatory points of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Peace Formula.

This and other provisions of the Formula will guarantee a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace not only for Ukraine, but for the entire European continent and the world.

We emphasize that there can be no middle-ground solutions when it comes to human lives, freedom, common values, justice for Russia’s crimes, and the restoration of international peace and security. In this context, temporary solutions will not bring lasting peace but will merely postpone war.

We call for joint efforts to implement the Peace Formula in the interests of all peace-loving nations that respect the UN Charter and the value of human life.

Together, we must increase pressure on Russia to coerce it into a just peace, liberate Ukraine’s territories, and restore respect for international law. This is a realistic scenario that we can achieve through joint efforts.
