Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "I was glad to speak with @ElinaValtonen this morning to coordinate positions ahead of today's Coalition of the Willing meeting and next week's high-level contacts. I informed my colleague about the current battlefield situation and efforts to force Russia to end its war. I underlined that security must come first, and that putting an end to the killings is absolutely essential for any diplomacy to succeed. Pressure on Moscow and a deterrence package for Ukraine are critical elements in strengthening our defense and resilience. We value our partnership with Finland and appreciate the Finnish government and people's consistent support for Ukraine. I thanked Finland for its good leadership of the OSCE and for organizing the successful Helsinki+50 summit. I conveyed our gratitude to President Stubb for his personal efforts to achieve a real peace for Ukraine".
