"Every voice matters. It is very important for us to maintain unity among everyone in Europe. That is why this circle of friendship is broader and larger. During today's meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, it included 36 countries – nine more than the number of member states in the European Union," Zelensky said.

According to him, it is important that partners include Iceland and Norway, as well as strong Nordic and Baltic nations, along with Canada and Japan.
