Nordic, Baltic leaders arrive in Kyiv on eve of Independence Day
"We feel we are not alone. Our allies are with us," Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on Ag. 23.
Nordic and Baltic leaders have arrived in Kyiv ahead of Ukraine's Independence Day, demonstrating solidarity with Ukraine amid the ongoing full-scale Russian invasion. This is the fifth Independence Day for Ukraine since the invasion began in 2022. The Nordic and Baltic nations, key allies of Ukraine, held bilateral and multilateral talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda will participate in events and discussions with Nordic-Baltic countries and the Coalition of the Willing. Zelensky and Finland's President Alexander Stubb met to discuss defense industry cooperation, including the development of drones and unmanned naval systems. Zelensky also met former U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence and briefed him on Russia's ongoing missile terror. Ukraine is seeking additional Patriot interceptors to bolster its defenses as winter approaches.
