Quote: "We – the leaders of the Nordic-Baltic Eight – spoke with President Zelenskyy today. We have from the outset of Russia's war of aggression stood by Ukraine's side and we will continue to do so. Our resolve comes from the fact that we know that this is not only about Ukrainian security, it is also about the wider security of Europe."

Details: The NB8 also mentioned that Ukraine has continuously shown its seriousness about peace and, as stated by President Zelenskyy, "is working on the document prepared by the US".

"Russia has so far not committed to a ceasefire or any steps leading to peace. Instead, Russia continues its brutal attacks against Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure," the statement emphasises.

The NB8 pointed out that they will continue to arm Ukraine and strengthen Europe's defence to deter further Russian aggression.

Quote: "As long as Russia continues its war against Ukraine, we will also support strengthening sanctions and wider economic measures."

Background: German newspaper Bild reports that representatives of leading European countries will meet with US officials in Geneva on 23 November, as they disagree with at least four points of the Trump team's "peace plan".
