Joint Statement by the Nordic-Baltic Ministers (NB8) of Foreign Affairs
We, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and government representatives of the NB8, met in Kuressaare, Estonia on 29-30 April 2026, at a time of rapid change in the international security environment, with heightened geopolitical tensions, Russia continuing its war of aggression against Ukraine, and an urgent need for Europe to step up and take greater responsibility for shaping its future.
Ukraine, firmly anchored in the European family is in the interest of European security and essential for Europe’s future as a geopolitical power and economic actor. Strong partnership with Ukraine, committed to democratic values, human rights and the rule of law, is an investment that benefits us all. We support Ukraine on its irreversible path to full European and Euro-Atlantic integration, including the EU and NATO membership.
