1 / 8

Sirið Stenberg, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Industry and Trade, met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv on 14 July. The visit took place as part of a joint trip with Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen.

During her visit, Minister Stenberg informed President Zelenskyy and Defence Minister Rustem Umerov of the Faroese government’s plans to provide Ukraine with fastgoing boats produced in the Faroe Islands. She also expressed a willingness to explore further areas of cooperation where the Faroe Islands can support Ukraine in defending itself against ongoing attacks.

President Zelenskyy thanked the Faroe Islands for their solidarity and support, including both the planned donation and ongoing humanitarian aid.

Ukraine’s fight for its right to exist is vital for European security and stability. That’s why we will increasingly prioritise support to Ukraine. After meeting with government officials, visiting businesses, and greeting Ukrainian soldiers, I am convinced that Faroese funding and expertise can make a real difference.
