Prime Minister Michal Participates in Joint Nordic-Baltic Leaders’ Support Visit to Kyiv

"Russia launched its attack on Ukraine on the very day Estonia celebrates its Independence Day. We know how precious freedom is, and we will do everything in our power to help Ukraine achieve a just and lasting peace. Estonia, together with the Nordic and Baltic countries, has been among Ukraine's strongest supporters since the very beginning of the war," Prime Minister Michal said.

The meeting of the Coalition of the Willing takes place within the visit, bringing together leaders present in Kyiv as well as those joining via video from partner countries and international institutions. This will be followed by a meeting between the Nordic and Baltic leaders and President Zelenskyy, after which a joint press conference will be held.

Participating in the joint visit are the Prime Minister of Iceland, Kristrún Frostadóttir; the Prime Minister of Latvia, Evika Siliņa; the Minister of National Defence of Lithuania Robertas Kaunas, the Prime Minister of Norway, Jonas Gahr Støre; the Prime Minister of Sweden, Ulf Kristersson; the President of Finland, Alexander Stubb; and the Prime Minister of Denmark, Mette Frederiksen. Also present in Kyiv are the Prime Minister of Croatia, Andrej Plenković; the President of the European Council, António Costa; and the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.

From Ukraine, Prime Minister Michal will travel to Brussels, where on 26 February he will open a high-level conference on support for European Union border regions together with President von der Leyen. On 18 February, the European Commission presented a strategy to enhance support for countries bordering Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.
