️🇺🇦. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky:
Ukraine and the Nordic countries. Today, KristrunFrosta, jonasgahrstore, PetteriOrpo, SwedishPM and I met in Copenhagen. During the years of Russia's full-scale war, this format became a real pillar of strength and resilience for Ukraine.
We had a detailed discussion about diplomacy and preparations for the next steps. I briefed them on today's negotiations in Abu Dhabi. And our common position is clear: Europe must definitely be at the negotiating table. I also talked about Russia's escalation and attacks on our energy infrastructure. Hundreds of thousands of families live with power outages every day. The situation is currently extremely difficult in the Kyiv, Dnipro and Chernihiv regions. Russian attacks also cause constant problems with electricity supply in the regions of Donetsk, Sumy, Kharkiv and Zaporizhia. I am grateful for your willingness to help. We are counting heavily on new support packages to help our people through such Russian terrorism this winter.
I thank the leaders for coordinating for our common security. I am grateful to our Nordic friends - Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland - for their continued support, unity and decisions that help protect life.
