Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs Andriy Sybiha met with Estonian counterpart Margus Tsahkna in Luxembourg to discuss the ongoing battlefield situation and Russia's attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The two ministers also coordinated their positions in preparation for the upcoming EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting.
Sybiha provided an update on the battlefield to Tsahkna, highlighting Russia's continued strikes against Ukraine, with a particular focus on the country's energy infrastructure. During their meeting, the Ukrainian and Estonian foreign ministers agreed on the necessity of increasing pressure on Russia, including the implementation of a robust 22nd sanction package and measures targeting the supply chains that fuel Russia's war efforts.
Furthermore, Sybiha emphasized that immobilizing Russian assets should serve to support Ukraine, ultimately forcing the aggressor to pay for its actions.
In appreciation of Estonia's recent contribution of EUR 100,000 to enhance Ukraine's energy resilience ahead of the challenging winter, Sybiha expressed gratitude to Estonian officials. The ministers also delved into preparations for the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC 2027), scheduled to take place in Estonia, and reached an agreement to maintain close communication in the future.
