4. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Andrii Sybiha, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine:
"There is no pressure on us. Together with our allies, we are working to achieve this goal. Moreover, I will say that, on the contrary, we are exchanging ideas on how to strengthen Ukraine on the way to achieving a just peace, because this is a strategic interest of the transatlantic community. Because this aggression is not only about Ukraine, about aggression against Ukraine, but it is an attack on common values, on the way of life that we are used to in Europe and we defend it."

6. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Andrii Sybiha, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine:
"It was a very difficult task, which was accomplished thanks to the heroism of Ukrainian soldiers, and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief set this task, and it was accomplished. And let me remind you, it was a real fact that it was really difficult to capture a North Korean soldier, because they were committing suicide. They were blowing themselves up, in a word, committing suicide. And the Russian army also made it impossible for them to be captured alive. This happened, this is real evidence of the changing realities of Russian aggression, namely the involvement of the North Korean military in this war. And for the first time they are fighting on the European continent after a long period."

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Margus Tsahkna, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Estonia:
"We must be sure and continuously on this position, that full membership of European Union and full membership of NATO is giving stability not only for Ukraine but also for Europe. This is in our interest as well, that Ukraine will become a full member of NATO. Because we had witnessed from the past and now as well – we are witnessing that neutrality is actually the green light for Putin."

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Margus Tsahkna, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Estonia:
"I think that North Korean troops just couple of hundreds of kilometers from the NATO and EU border has changed the core of this Russian aggression. This is global understanding in US, in Europe and also our partners in global south. And also now you have two witnesses in meaning, I hope that they will talk as well (with) more details. But this something, a clear sign that this not Russian aggression against Ukraine only. This not your problem. This much more global. And this understanding is there."
