Ukraine must receive continued support at the same time as the pressure on Russia increases.
This is stated by several of Europe's leaders in a joint statement ahead of next week's meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
In the statement, which has been signed by France's President Emmanuel Macron, Germany's Friedrich Merz and the UK's Keir Starmer and several others, it is stated that one should "maintain and introduce restrictive measures against the Russian Federation".
