Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak held online talks with national security advisers and diplomatic advisers to the heads of state and government of Denmark, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Finland, and Sweden. Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Ihor Zhovkva also participated in the conversation.
Andriy Yermak informed his foreign colleagues about the results of the negotiations between the delegations of Ukraine and the United States on the restoration of a just and sustainable peace in Ukraine, which took place on March 11 in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia).
The parties welcomed the strong joint statement issued on the results of the meeting and coordinated further joint steps to strengthen Ukraine's positions and bring our state closer to a just peace.
The Head of the Office of the President emphasized Ukraine's unwavering position on the need to involve European partners in the peace process, noting the important role of the Nordic and Baltic countries in it.
“Any negotiations on establishing a just peace in Ukraine must be preceded by reliable security guarantees for Ukraine. This is the cornerstone of lasting peace in Europe and an important element in deterring armed aggression against an independent state. I thank all of your countries for their substantial assistance, especially military aid. We count on its expansion to strengthen Ukraine and our collective European security,” Andriy Yermak emphasized.
