On the eve of the Foreign Affairs Council meeting, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna held a telephone conversation with his Ukrainian counterpart Andriy Sybiha, during which, in particular, they discussed the current political and diplomatic situation and Ukraine's path to joining the EU.
“Had a phone call with my Ukrainian colleague Andriy Sybiha ahead of today’s FAC on Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Reaffirmed Estonia’s unwavering support for Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty & territorial integrity. The aggressor must not be rewarded. It must face strong sanctions & be held accountable. We also discussed Ukraine’s #EU path. Opening the first negotiation cluster for Ukraine & Moldova must happen without delay,” Tsahkna said on X.
In turn, Sybiha noted that during the conversation they “exchanged views on recent diplomatic developments and coordinated efforts to achieve peace through strength.”
