The document also supports the Peace Formula as a reliable path to such peace.

"The Berlin Declaration clearly emphasizes the support of Ukraine's partners on its irreversible path to full Euro-Atlantic integration, including NATO membership, as well as on its path to EU accession," the Foreign Ministry emphasizes.

The ministers also confirmed their readiness to increase military, economic, and financial assistance to Ukraine, including mobilizing additional European funding, and to quickly implement the Group of Seven decision to allocate a $50 billion loan to Ukraine to cover its urgent needs, including military needs.

In addition, the document emphasizes support for Ukraine's right to self-defense against Russian aggression. It strongly condemns further escalation by Russia, its targeted attacks against Ukrainian cities and critical civilian infrastructure, the deployment of North Korean troops, and the use of intermediate-range ballistic missiles against Ukraine.

The Berlin Declaration demonstrates the intention to continue limiting the buildup of Russian military capabilities and putting additional pressure on the Kremlin's sources of revenue, including energy. It also demonstrates the readiness to provide Ukraine with strong security guarantees, including reliable long-term military and financial support.

The Ministers affirmed their readiness to stand united with European and transatlantic partners in discussions and actions on European security, the architecture of which should be based on the principles of the UN Charter and the OSCE.

The Ministers separately confirm their intention to continue supporting Ukraine's reconstruction and recovery and note that the International Conference on the Recovery of Ukraine will be held in Italy in 2025.
