The four leaders also welcomed US efforts to end the war in Ukraine, including its commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and readiness to provide Kyiv with reliable security guarantees.

They agreed to coordinate their actions closely with one another, with other European partners and with Washington on the issue.
