It has been a long day today. I started it with a conversation with the President of Finland – we discussed our diplomatic opportunities. The negotiations in Türkiye, our cooperation with the United States, and our European prospects, which are important not just for Ukraine. I am grateful to President Stubb for his support.
I also spoke today with Chancellor Merz of Germany. We’re working to accelerate the implementation of the agreements we reached during my visit to Berlin. I briefed him on the meeting in Türkiye. All of us in Europe need an end to this war and a truly reliable peace. This is very important.
There was also a meeting in the Ramstein format today. And it is important that this format of our cooperation with partners remains in place. We are preparing decisions to support our joint defense production with partners. This is long-term security – these are our guarantees, European guarantees – guarantees for everyone that Russian aggression will not be able to expand and will not be rewarded. Russia must truly feel that war is worse than peace. And that is exactly why sanctions are needed – especially against their oil trade. Sustained defense support for Ukraine is also essential, to protect our people and to defend our positions. And of course, we must have an understanding of the foundations for Ukraine’s post-war development.
