Ukraine expects countries to support Ukraine's peace formula at the NATO summit in Vilnius. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelensky during a conversation with media representatives following a meeting with Prime Minister of Finland Sanna Marin in Kyiv.

Ukraine's own NATO membership cannot be realized in time of war, but Zelenskiy said it would be important for Ukraine to receive security guarantees from a defense alliance even before actual NATO membership..

Sanna Marin, in turn, noted that she supports the peace formula of President Zelensky and wants it to work as soon as possible.

" We want Ukraine to join NATO as one of the allied states of this Alliance,"

She also announced that Finland will provide Ukraine with a total of 29 million euros in humanitarian aid and development cooperation support.. The aid package is part of an additional €70 million funding provided by the Finnish government last year to support Ukraine..

According to Marin, Finland is already preparing the fourteenth arms aid package.. The total value of the previous packages is about 750 million euros. Finland is one of the largest arms donors.

Marin also called for investment in the military industry so that Europe can support Ukraine in the long term..

Marin said that Russia should pay war reparations for the destruction caused to Ukraine. For example, Russian funds in the West should be used for reconstruction.

Zelensky said that Finland is a strong ally, and Prime Minister Marin is a true friend of Ukraine..

Sanctions imposed due to the war unleashed by Russia were also discussed in the discussions between Zelensky and Marin. In their opinion, they need to be tightened. Especially against so-called third countries, sanctions should be made more effective. For example, technologies are still exported to Russia through third countries..

As reported, Britain and France now want to provide Ukraine with everything for a decisive advantage at the front, but the war will end with negotiations..
