"Thank you to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania for their firm stance against the use of their airspace to deepen ties with Russia," Sybiha wrote.
The minister emphasized: "If anyone has forgotten, Russia is still waging an aggressive war against Ukraine, posing direct threats to European security and the international order." "Strong and sustained pressure must continue until Russia is held fully accountable," he noted.
"We call on other countries to follow the example of our Baltic friends and also deny the use of their airspace. Let's compensate for the lack of conscience with a lack of air routes," Sybiha pointed out.
