The summit started at 14:00 GMT on Sunday afternoon.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President Antonio Costa, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also participated. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan represented President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
According to some participants, the summit focused on the United States' support for Ukraine and its role in providing security guarantees for the country.
The discussions also covered "deterrent measures against future Russian attacks."
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, in a press statement, mentioned that she raised the issue of rearming Europe during the meeting.
The summit followed a tense encounter between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington on February 28.
During their meeting at the White House on Friday evening, the two leaders had a heated debate in front of cameras. Following the dispute, a joint press conference was canceled, and Zelensky left the White House without signing an agreement on rare earth elements, which Trump had demanded in exchange for U.S. support to Ukraine during its war with Russia.
Since February 24, 2022, Russia has been conducting a military attack on Ukraine, demanding that Kyiv abandon its bid to join Western military alliances, a request that Ukraine considers an "interference" in its internal affairs.
