Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha stated that allied nations are at a decisive moment in the ongoing conflict, urging increased pressure on Moscow, stronger sanctions, and greater defense spending for Ukraine, while also highlighting rising threats from Belarus. Concurrently, several European nations addressed Russian actions. Finland's Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen described Russia's accusations against Baltic states as part of a wider disinformation effort. Poland's Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski echoed this, calling Russian threats against its Baltic allies unacceptable. Estonia further responded by summoning Russia's chargé d'affaires to protest the disinformation campaign. Separately, Poland imposed a five-year entry ban on Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, citing his conduct, specifically mocking activists.
