During a joint press conference with the US Secretary of State @SecBlinken, NATO Secretary General @jensstoltenberg said that 🇷🇺 is unlikely to retaliate after the US provision of advanced weapons to 🇺🇦 because #NATO and its allies are supporting Ukraine’s right to self-defense.

@SecBlinken @jensstoltenberg #Poland reaffirmed its support for 🇺🇦 accession to the #EU and #NATO. The governments also agreed to strengthen defense cooperation, develop the Polish-Ukrainian-British Union, work on strengthening the sanctions against 🇷🇺, and strengthen cross-border cooperation.

Also, Poland will help with export of the 🇺🇦 grain and become an economic hub for Ukraine. Warsaw will receive funding from the EU to increase capacity and improve infrastructure. 🇺🇦 and 🇵🇱 adopted a joint statement as a result of intergovernmental consultations 🤝

The Norwegian Government has decided to bring wounded soldiers from Ukraine to #Norway for medical evacuation and treatment. Norway is already one of the largest contributors to the medical evacuation scheme for civilians from the war in Ukraine ❤️

The war claimed 35% of Ukraine’s GDP. We have lost more than 200 factories. Our direct losses already exceed $600 billion, according to the Head of the Office of President Andrii Yermak 😞
