On July 12, 2023, the United States, Ukraine, and other members of the G7 issued a Joint Declaration subsequently joined by 24 additional states that reaffirmed their “unwavering commitment to the strategic objective of a free, independent, democratic, and sovereign Ukraine, within its internationally recognized borders, capable of defending itself and deterring future aggression”.
(2)
The security of Ukraine is integral to the security of the Euro-Atlantic region.

The Russian Federation’s illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine is a threat to international peace and security, a flagrant violation of international law, including the United Nations Charter, and incompatible with international security interests.

The United States will stand with Ukraine as it defends itself against Russian aggression, for as long as it takes.
(5)
The people of the United States stand united in our enduring support for Ukraine, rooted in our shared democratic values and interests, above all, and respect for the United Nations Charter and the principles of territorial integrity and sovereignty.
(6)
