President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed decrees awarding the title Hero of Ukraine to members of the Defense and Security Forces. The Head of State also presented defenders with orders and medals and conferred military and special ranks.

Today we spoke about continuing our joint work. We will work toward a new level of partnership – toward a strategic partnership between our countries.

The Head of State thanked Norway for all its support and particularly highlighted energy assistance. Such cooperation helps Ukraine get through every winter that Russia tries to turn into a weapon. Norway is also one of the largest investors in the PURL initiative: total contributions have already reached $970 million.

On the eve of and on the day of the fourth anniversary of the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, Ukraine’s partners announced new support packages for Ukrainians and sanctions against Russia.

The Nordic-Baltic States will continue to play a leading role in strengthening our shared security, and supporting Ukraine and its people in their fight for just and lasting peace.

The leaders expressed their support for Ukraine and solidarity with the Ukrainian people fighting against Russian aggression.

In Kyiv, First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska met with UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with Prime Minister of Croatia Andrej Plenković.

It’s vital that we have started working on the details of a key geopolitical security guarantee for Ukraine and for all of Europe – a clear date for Ukraine’s accession to the EU. The year 2027 is very important for us and, I hope, doable, so that Putin cannot block our membership for decades.

During the meeting, specific steps that could bring peace closer were discussed. In particular, this concerned amendments to European Union legislation that would make it possible to stop Russian tankers and seize the oil they transport. Further pressure on Russia is needed, primarily regarding the Russian shadow fleet in European waters, as well as Russian oil and gas on European markets.
