Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Ihor Brusylo, held a meeting with the heads of diplomatic missions and military attachés from the Nordic and Baltic countries (NB8).
The meeting was also attended by Deputy Minister for Strategic Industries Anna Gvozdiar, Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Valerii Churkin, and a representative from the Command of the Logistics Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The key topics of discussion included strengthening international military and technical cooperation, priority areas for enhancing Ukraine's defense capabilities, and the urgent needs of Ukrainian warriors.
Ihor Brusylo thanked the diplomatic representatives for their assistance in our fight against Russian aggression.
“Your region plays an extremely important role in ensuring an effective security architecture for the European continent. Today, the support of our Northern European partners is crucial for deterring the aggressor and strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities,” he noted.
The parties also exchanged views on the global situation and the agreements reached by the Ukrainian and U.S. negotiation teams in Saudi Arabia.
Particular attention was given to consolidating efforts within the framework of the UK-France initiative to establish a “coalition of the willing” – a mechanism aimed at developing effective security guarantees for Ukraine.
Representatives of the NB8 countries reaffirmed their readiness to continue supporting Ukraine both bilaterally and within multilateral cooperation formats.
