Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna spoke about the content of his meeting with Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kestutis Budrys.

Focusing on Europe’s future and the enlargement process, Tsahkna said: “We agree that continuing support for Ukraine and EU enlargement are at the core of Europe’s future.”

Referring to the EU enlargement process, Tsahkna stated: “Without Ukraine, there will be no stronger Europe, and without progress in enlargement, there will be no progress. EU enlargement is not just a process, but a strategic investment in stability, prosperity, and resilience across our continent.”

Emphasizing security investments and policy toward Russia, Tsahkna said: “We also highlighted the importance of continuing to exert pressure on Russia. Supporting Ukraine is an investment in our own security and future.”

Noting that discussions will continue, Tsahkna added: “We will continue this work this evening at the NB8 foreign ministers’ meeting in Kuressaare.”
