Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said he's happy with Finland’s accession to NATO, but added the best way to guarantee security in Europe is to have Ukraine join the alliance as well.

"We are all happy for Finland today," Kuleba said as he was welcomed to the NATO headquarters by Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Tuesday.

"Finland’s accession is a clear message that the time to revise old strategies and old perceptions has come and there is no better solution to ensuring Euro-Atlantic security as a whole than eventual membership of Ukraine in NATO."Finland reneged on decades of neutrality when it announced its intention to apply for NATO membership just over a year ago, after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. It is set to join the alliance on Tuesday.

Ahead of talks with the NATO chief, Kuleba went on to say discussions would focus on ensuring sustainability of support for Ukraine, as well as speeding up deliveries of equipment that had already been pledged.

"I came here to NATO to speed up deliveries of what has already been pledged to Ukraine, primarily artillery ammunition, armored infantry vehicles, armored personnel carriers, everything that Ukraine needs for a successful counter-offensive."
