Iceland condemns continuous Houthi attacks against vessels in the Red Sea, which gravely undermine navigational rights and freedoms, and the safety of these vessels and their crews. These attacks must stop.

Proud that Iceland will purchase a fully equipped mobile field hospital and give to Ukraine and the Ukrainian People.

This will help their military care for the wounded, as they defend their land and win it back from the aggressor.

Happy that all parties unite in this cause.
