“In a war like this, the best thing to hear from partners is: What is the next step we can take to support Ukraine? Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Finland, and Sweden are ready to increasing their support for our defense.
We discussed ways to provide Ukraine with additional air defense systems, including the Patriots. We also agreed on increasing defense production both in Ukraine and in partner countries, ensuring that the industrial defense base against Russian aggression will only grow.
All Nordic partners have endorsed Ukraine’s Victory Plan—clear steps that strengthen our ability to bring a just peace closer. I am grateful for their willingness to work with other partners and convince them that determination can indeed change history for the better.
We spoke in depth about our need for geopolitical certainty. An invitation for Ukraine to join NATO is a way to strengthen not only Ukraine but all partners in the Alliance. This step would open up a much more promising long-term security perspective for all NATO member states, putting an end to Russia’s imperial ambitions.
We also share a common understanding of the need to strengthen sanctions against Russia, particularly to limit its ability to use a shadow tanker fleet to finance its aggression. It is crucial that our Nordic partners receive strong support in this initiative from the European Union and G7.
Putin’s shadow tanker fleet poses a global threat, and it’s time to find a solution to overcome it.”
Determination that matters.
