Foreign Affairs Committee delegation is in Helsinki to discuss support for Ukraine and NATO enlargement

NordenBladet —

The Chairman of the Committee Andres Sutt said that the members of the Committee intend to discuss plans for further support to Ukraine with members of the Finnish government. “Ukraine needs continuous military help from the allies, in the shape of modern tanks, air-defence, and other weapons. This is the only way to make sure that Russia’s war of aggression ends with Ukraine’s victory and liberation of its territory,” he said, adding that another item on the agenda would certainly be the establishment of a special tribunal to investigate Russia’s crime of aggression.

The NATO accession process of Finland and Sweden will also be discussed. Sutt is of the opinion that the NATO enlargement would significantly enhance the security of our region, which is why Estonia hopes to see both countries join the Alliance as soon as possible.

The delegation of the Foreign Affairs Committee will meet their Finnish counterparts, but also the Minister of Foreign Affairs Pekka Haavisto, Minister of Defence Mikko Savola, and Chief of Defence Timo Kivinen.

Sutt is accompanied on the visit by Deputy Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee Enn Eesmaa and member of the Committee Henn Põlluaas.
