European leaders on Saturday called for full respect of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity following US President Donald Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. They welcomed Trump’s pledge of security guarantees for Ukraine and urged further negotiations with President Volodymyr Zelensky, supporting a potential trilateral summit with European backing, according to Xinhua.

The statement stressed that Ukraine alone must decide its territory, borders must not be changed by force, and Europe will maintain pressure on Russia through sanctions. Trump described the Alaska meeting as “very productive,” though no agreement was reached.
