Finland’s one-year chairmanship of the OSCE began on January 1. Zelensky noted that Elina Valtonen made her first visit in this position to Ukraine, and this is an important symbol of support for our state. Finland provided 26 defense aid packages totaling more than 2.3 billion euros.
“Special attention was paid to the strengthening of sanctions against the shadow fleet of the Russian Federation, which enables the aggressor state to finance the war. Elina Valtonen also emphasized that Russia uses the shadow fleet to undermine the limit price of oil, and it, in addition, creates a real threat to the environment,” – the message says.
Valtonen noted that as Finland and as the country presiding over the OSCE, we will do everything to achieve a just and sustainable peace for Ukraine.
“Ukraine will remain a priority for the entire Organization,” she assured.
Separately, Zelensky noted Finland’s participation in the first Peace Summit and the thematic conferences based on its results.
“We count on your leadership and chairmanship of the OSCE. And I want to discuss with you and your team what the OSCE can do for Ukraine, first of all for our children, for our soldiers, for our heroic people who are held in Russian prisons.” – said the President.
During the meeting, they discussed preparations for a special enhanced meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council dedicated to the third anniversary of the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and this year’s commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Helsinki Final Act, the document on the basis of which the Organization was created. The principles of this act are also the basis of the Peace Formula and the Victory Plan.
