초록보기

With EU consensus becoming increasingly harder to achieve, Ukraine needs to explore more opportunities for bilateral cooperation.

The Nordic-Baltic 8 (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden) stands as a strong, unified bloc well-positioned to support Ukraine.

Public backing in the NB8 for Ukraine remains sky-high, with surveys showing strong support for military aid while pro-Russian parties remain on the sidelines.

A shared history of Russian conflict reinforces these countries’ stance against aggression, aligning their interests closely with Ukraine’s.

All the NB8 countries have signed bilateral agreements with Ukraine, with some pledging a specific GDP percentage for aid while supporting EU and NATO integration.

Acting in unison, the NB8 could play an even more pivotal role by curtailing Russian oil exports through the Baltic Sea.

Redirecting Norway’s war-fuelled energy profits could boost Ukraine’s defence capabilities.

Full membership in the Joint Expeditionary Force, of which all NB8 countries are a part, could provide Ukraine with an extra layer of deterrence against Russian aggression.
