The head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak took part in a thematic online conference dedicated to the ninth point of the formula of peace "preventing escalation of war and repetition of aggression". This conference became the fourth in a row, and according to the results of each such event, proposals for the second world summit will be formed.

Andriy Yermak stressed that the existing world security architecture was unable to offer effective ways to prevent Russian aggression.

According to him, the war in Ukraine has global consequences, as nuclear, food, energy and environmental safety were threatened.   “We need an updated security architecture based on international law and supported by Ukraine's own defense capabilities. This system should cover not only the military component, but also sanctions, financial support, investment and broad cooperation in various fields, ”said the Presidential Office Head.

He also noted that Ukraine, along with partners, is working on an upgrade of security architecture, which should help restrain and stop aggression around the world. The deputy head of the Presidential Office Igor Zhovkva noted that 32 states have already joined the G7 joint declaration in 2023 on security guarantees for Ukraine.   "In total, as a result of signing 26 bilateral security agreements, we have about 40 billion declared military assistance for Ukraine only in 2024," he added.

The UK Prime Minister Advisor Timothy Barrow stressed that partner states should support Ukraine on the way to a fair peace and develop a mechanism for preventing future aggression. The United Kingdom is the co -co -co -co -editor of the Peace Formula and has become the first state with which Ukraine has entered into a bilateral security agreement on the basis of a G7 joint declaration. The result of the conference was a joint communique, the text of which is given below.
