Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "I had an important conversation with my colleague Minister Margus Tsahkna as Estonia is assuming the coordinating role within the Nordic-Baltic Eight in 2026.

I briefed him in detail on Russia’s barbaric attack against Ukraine, once again deliberately targeting civilians and critical infrastructure.

We discussed concrete steps to ensure a strong and coordinated response to Russia’s ongoing terror, with a particular focus on urgently strengthening Ukraine’s air defense.

Grateful for my colleague’s personal leadership and steadfast engagement in mobilizing maximum assistance for Ukraine.

Ukraine attaches great importance to further advancing cooperation with the Nordic-Baltic countries and highly appreciates their principled, consistent, and meaningful support.

We coordinated our next bilateral contacts and joint efforts to bring closer a just and lasting peace for the whole of Europe."
