Joint statement of the Nordic-Baltic Eight (NB8) countries on support for Ukraine
President of the Republic of Lithuania
February 14, 2025
We stand fully and firmly behind Ukraine. Ukraine must be able to prevail against Russia's war of aggression, to ensure a just and lasting peace. The outcome of the war will have fundamental and long-lasting effects on European and transatlantic security.
Our priority now is to strengthen Ukraine. Our countries are some of the largest per-capita contributors of military assistance to Ukraine. We will further bolster our support.
We are engaging with Ukraine, the United States and all our NATO allies and EU partners on how to achieve peace through strength. The sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine is unconditional. Ukraine should be given strong security guarantees. Ukraine and Europe must be involved in any negotiations.
We are investing strongly in our own defence. We are determined to further strengthen our collective security and defence, and to shoulder our responsibility for peace and security in Europe. We are fully committed to sharing all burdens, risks and responsibilities as NATO allies.
