I am deeply shocked by the brutal attack in Berlin that struck people celebrating diversity and love. My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and all affected.

Norway stands with Germany in the fight against violence, hatred and intolerance.

Russia attacked several Ukrainian cities today. In Slovyansk, five people were killed, Latvia’s Honorary Consulate was destroyed, and two staff members were injured.

Our thoughts are with all those affected across Ukraine.

Norway will continue to support Ukraine.

Russia’s aggression against Ukraine has caused immense suffering for millions. The Russian leaders responsible for launching this illegal war must be held accountable. Norway is proud to join the Special Tribunal for Ukraine. 🇳🇴🇺🇦 https://t.co/PJf1pvG4I5

We share the UK’s and the EU’s deep concern regarding Russia’s malicious cyber operations. Norway stands with NATO Allies and international partners in condemning Russian state and state-sponsored cyber operations.

Ukraine’s and Europe’s security are inseparable, and Ukraine has become an important security provider for Europe.

I was pleased to see the strong, unanimous and long-term support for Ukraine expressed at the #NUC meeting during the Ankara #NATO Summit 🇺🇦✌️.

At the #NATOSummit in Ankara, allies showed how we are building for the future, ensuring that we have the capabilities we need and that responsibility is fairly shared across the Alliance.
