The war Russia started against Ukraine can only end by consistent pressure being applied on Vladimir Putin, the leaders of eight Nordic and Baltic countries have said in a message to Donald Trump.
The statement by the Nordic-Baltic Eight whose members are allies of Kyiv, welcomed the U.S. president’s moves to end the war ahead of his summit with Putin in Alaska Friday and said they would continue to impose restrictive measures against Russia while continuing to support Ukraine.
“Peace will only come through a combination of determined diplomacy, unwavering support for Ukraine, and consistent pressure on the Russian Federation,” said the statement by Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden.
