Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "I had a great call with my Finnish colleague Elina Valtonen. 

Our main focus was on shared security challenges. I reiterated our position regarding recent drone-related incidents and reaffirmed our readiness to work closely together and develop practical solutions to prevent such situations in the future.  

We appreciate Finland’s understanding that the root cause of these threats is Russia’s war against Ukraine. Ukraine’s actions are focused on military and infrastructure targets on Russian territory in order to reduce its warfighting capacity — which is in our common interest. 

I also briefed on President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s recent visits to Türkiye and Syria. Ukraine is strengthening its role in the Middle East, engaging in a new geopolitical reality where we work with regional partners on a practical basis — to enhance both regional stability and our own security. 

I expressed my gratitude for Finland’s strong defence and political support. We also discussed the need to unblock the €90 billion loan, which is important for strengthening Ukraine’s resilience. Close cooperation and strong positions are key to achieving a lasting peace. 

Finally, I briefed on the battlefield situation and ongoing peace efforts. Ukraine remains committed to working with partners to restore security and stability in Europe."
