About🇷🇺🇺🇦war
We’re living in a world of sovereignty, territorial integrity, the right of each and every country to choose their own alliances, freely conducted foreign policy — these are central rights.The latest one has been violated in Ukraine because of Russia’s actions.(2/10)
🇷🇺🇺🇦 war threatens rules-based🌏order and also brings deep instability in the #EuroAtlantic space.That is a great concern of @NATO.That’s one of the reasons why the allies so strongly support🇺🇦right to self-defense in calling 🇷🇺to stop this horrific war. (3/10)
On 🇺🇦 membership in #NATO
The message remains absolutely clear that every democracy in Europe has the right to apply for NATO membership. NATO Allies do respect that right very much. In the #StrategicConcept was written very clearly that NATO’s door remains open. (4/10)
We have seen during the last few months this process of NATO accession of 🇫🇮 and 🇸🇪. In Madrid all Allies have said that they support 🇺🇦 right to choose its own path and also decide what type of security arrangement it wants. (5/10)
The practical cooperation with 🇺🇦 has increased since 2014. Since then, between 2014 and February 2022 there’s been a lot of activities from self-defense to counter the hybrid threats, from resilience to civil preparedness, countering IED’s.(6/10)
These days and months we see very clearly how the #ArmedForcesofUkraine are highly capable to defend the country against 🇷🇺 aggression. (7/10)
The future of @NATO
The future of NATO means first of all #defense and #deterrence including countering #hybrid threats. Secondly, in the Strategic Concept was emphasized about the importance of resilience or how we protect our infrastructure and societies. (8/10)
About #climate and #security
It is not surprising that NATO has adopted a very robust actual plan and strategy on how to adapt our military, and how we can increase our situational awareness. Also how to cooperate with other partners in part on climate change and security.(9/10)
Contemporary 🇷🇺 Nazis have been torturing #Ukrainians in #PiskyRadkivski
, Kharkiv region. The veterans of 🇷🇺🇺🇦 war and 🇺🇦 #POW'S were victims of 🇷🇺 occupiers.

At the moment, in the 🇺🇦 police @NPU_GOV_UA said about torture (burying and digging out alive in the ground, using a gas mask with a smoldering rag).

In the torture chamber, law enforcement officers found a dildo, a box with torn dentures, wires with ropes and a letter with an interview of one of the men who were there.
👨💻On October 20-21, 🇺🇦 will host the National Defensive #hackathon 2022, which will bring together the best specialists in #cybersecurity and countering #disinformation, leading experts in #IT from the private and public sectors.

Ukrainian experts, together with representatives of our partner countries, will work on innovative solutions that will help the Armed Forces gain a technological advantage over the enemy. @NATO@mintsyfra@crdfglobal@DefenceU@GeneralStaffUA@CforCD

The impact of 🇷🇺 🇺🇦 war on #Africa
🧵(1/10)
African countries, which have been out of 🇺🇦 attention for a long time, have now become relevant due to #RussiaUkraineWar. The economic circumstances of war with blocking the export of 🇺🇦 goods abroad affect Africa to a greater extent.
Beyond food security, Africa is a region where Western influence is waning and the presence of Turkey, China and Russia is growing. Modern Africa consists of the former colonies of Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and Italy. (2/10)
After gaining their independence in the 1960s and 1980s, the newly formed countries began to focus not only on the West. Since the "cold war" was going on at that time, Moscow became a certain "alternative" and at the same time a sponsor of African countries. (3/10)
