Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Great way to start the second day at Munich Security Conference is to meet with the Nordic Baltic Eight, our closest friends.
I thanked Estonia, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden for their leadership in supporting Ukraine, including defense and energy assistance.
I informed my colleagues about peace efforts, the outcomes of recent talks in Abu Dhabi, and preparations for the Geneva meeting.
Strengthening for Ukraine and increased pressure on Russia remain critical for the success of diplomatic efforts.
We discussed further steps to increase the cost of war for the aggressor. I called on the NB8 group to support a full entry ban for participants of Russian aggression against Ukraine and members of their families.
Grateful to our friends for their steadfast support. Together, we defend our shared values and the security of Europe."
