According to Zelenskyy, the main topic of negotiations was the attack by Russian drones on Polish territory. The head of state emphasized that the incident was not accidental, but indicated Moscow's ability to expand aggression and deliberately create new threats.
The President called for a decisive reaction from the international community and increased sanctions pressure on Russia. He also announced that he expects the adoption of the 19th package of restrictive measures by the European Union.
Two dozen drones, in my opinion, flew purposefully. There is a full analysis of the trajectory, details are being clarified. All this indicates: the launch of Russian drones was deliberate and certainly not an accident
Separately, the parties touched upon Ukraine's European integration. Zelenskyy thanked Finland for its support in opening new negotiation clusters with the EU, emphasizing that this is another step towards membership.
No less important in the conversation, according to the Ukrainian president, was the issue of protecting civilians. Zelenskyy noted Finland's active participation in the "shelter coalition" – an international initiative that helps Ukrainian communities create safe spaces for people during air threats.
Zelenskyy summarized: only unity and strong actions of allies can limit Russia's military capabilities and ensure real security for Ukraine and all of Europe.
