Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that during his visit to Yerevan, he discussed a number of issues with Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo, including Ukraine's European integration.

"During the meeting with Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo, I thanked him for Finland's recent decision to allocate an additional $300 million in defense support for Ukraine. We sincerely appreciate this, and we discussed the priority areas of our defense — primarily air defense — that can be strengthened with this package. I proposed to the prime minister that we strengthen our bilateral partnership by signing an agreement in the Drone Deal format.

Ukraine is ready to share its expertise and strengthen those who have been strengthening us since the very beginning of the full-scale invasion. We also touched separately on international efforts, in particular our European integration. Right now there is a good window of opportunity to open the negotiating clusters, and Ukraine fully deserves it. Thank you to Finland for the support!" Zelensky wrote on his Telegram channel.

It should be recalled that the President of Ukraine is in Armenia to participate in the summit of the European Political Community.
