At a meeting of the defense ministers of the Nordic and Baltic states, these countries presented their further planned support for Ukraine. This was reported by the Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umjerow from a meeting in the "Nordic Baltic 8" format in Denmark. He announced that Kiev would receive a package from Sweden to strengthen its air defense, while Norway wanted to provide a total of 7.8 billion euros this year for the expansion of Ukrainian air defense.
Iceland and Denmark, in turn, wanted to participate with investments in the Ukrainian defense industry, similar to Latvia and Lithuania. Estonia and Finland were preparing, among other things, further deliveries of ammunition for Ukrainian artillery. These states continue to be "among our most loyal allies", wrote Umjerov on Telegram.
