40 European nations sign Dublin declaration on continental security principles

40 European countries, including Ukraine, signed a declaration in Dublin outlining fundamental security principles for the continent, stating that any security negotiations can only begin after the Russian-Ukrainian war ends. The document supports Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity within internationally recognized borders, and emphasizes the need for reliable security guarantees for Kyiv. It affirms that Ukraine's security is integral to Euro-Atlantic security and that peace must be determined with Ukraine's participation. The declaration was signed during the European Political Community summit on November 12. NATO members reaffirmed the Alliance as the cornerstone of collective defense, while risk management discussions would follow the restoration of peace in Europe.
