Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will be in Tallinn on Tuesday to attend the Nordic-Baltic cooperation summit and meet with President Alar Karis.

The summit, hosted by Estonia, which holds the rotating presidency of the NB8, will be attended by prime ministers from the eight Nordic and Baltic countries, as well as Zelenskyy.

Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal (Reform) reiterated that the eight countries have been among Ukraine’s most steadfast supporters since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale aggression.

Over the past four years, the NB8 countries have provided support to Ukraine worth more than €42 billion. This makes the group the largest contributor in the world on a per capita basis, a statement from the Estonian government said.

“Supporting Ukraine is one of the main priorities of Estonia’s NB8 presidency. We will discuss how to strengthen Ukraine’s defense capabilities, increase pressure on Russia, and make Europe as a whole more secure,” Michal said.
